The children, as old as 11 and as young as 1 year old, were rescued from behind a boarded-up back window and a front door that was blocked shut with a mattress.
HOUSTON, Texas -- Officers had to climb through a window to get into an apartment where five children were left home alone in terrible conditions, court records say.
According to HPD, officers responded to a welfare check Tuesday evening at the Casa Grande Apartments just off the Gulf Freeway and Monroe Drive. They found the children home alone. A boarded-up back window and a front door blocked shut with a table and a mattress made it difficult to enter. They eventually got in through another window."The home was filthy with gnats, roaches, flies throughout the residence.
Neighbors tell ABC13, the last time they saw the children outside was two months ago when they were playing in the courtyard at 3 a.m. They did not attend school.
