Arrested parents dined out while 5 kids went hungry at home with no power, overflowing toilet: Affidavit Florida parents who shared meals together and dined out at restaurants were arrested this week after police found their five children desperately hungry alone in their family home without food, electricity or a working toilet, according to an arrest affidavit.
The children reportedly told them they had to use rags or take showers after using the bathroom because there was no toilet paper and the room was mess.
The children told police they hadn’t eaten in at least 12 hours and were hungry.
The children were fed at the police stationhouse while officers searched for their parents.
The boy took the officers to the family apartment where he and his four siblings ages 12 and under were staying alone while their parents were out.
