Mills, who has five children of her own, said the task of cleaning up the home left her both physically and mentally drained in part because she knew the history of the condo.
A Michigan woman brought in to clean a Detroit-area home where three children had lived alone in squalor for years has described the desperate conditions the youngsters were forced to endure.
The condo housed three children — a 15-year-old boy and two girls, aged 13 and 12 — who had allegedly been abandoned by their mother, Kelli Bryant.
Bryant’s former sister-in-law, Charlene Bryant, told the outlet that the discovery was “horrendous” and questioned how the children were allowed to live alone so long without any of Kelli’s family acting on their behalf.
Investigators say the children lived alone inside it for four to five years as the house fell into disrepair and they fought to survive.
