The officer wrote in the report that the interior was "filthy and unlivable for children."
Police said the children were naked and dirty, and covered with insect bites. Police said there was stale food and trash all over, crawling with roaches.
According to the arrest report, there were six small dogs in the house, and dog feces and urine throughout the house, which reeked.
