More parents who just don't seem to have a clue about the job. Two Sonora, California parents have lost their children, at least temporarily.
The filth the two boys, aged nine and eleven, were forced to live in, wasn't even a healthy place for rats. Although rats had been seen in the home, the rats were apparently only there to look for food and then would leave to go back home where it wasn't so messy. The rats were smarter than the parents, George and Jeannie Eaton of Sonora, California a small community in the foothills area east of Sacramento.
The garbage was reported by the Sonora Police to be in piles often reaching five feet high, with feces on the outside of the toilet, and both urine and feces in the bathtub.
In a call made to the Health Dept. this morning an unnamed source suggested the home is questionable for rehabilitation by cleaning. It may have to be condemned entirely and torn down. That is certainly going to be one unhappy landlord.
The presence of rotting and decaying food throughout the kitchen, coupled with the rotting fast food items all over the house made for a very smelly environment for the boys.
No word yet on who turned the couple in, but when a Social Worker was refused entry to the home on Monday evening so Police Officers were called to the scene to make the entry.
As reported in
My MotherLode one officer described the scene as the
"worst living conditions he had ever seen."
The photos seem to say it all; the boys are indeed better off somewhere else.
