Couple Charged with Child and Animal Neglect

Crystal and Robert Trimble of Fairmont, West Virginia, have been arrested for child neglect after police found their three children living in a home infested with cockroaches and lacking running water, while drugs were used by strangers present in the house. The investigation began following a request from Child Protective Services, revealing disturbing conditions including infected wounds on one child and a lack of food. Meanwhile, in Plattsmouth, Nebraska, David and Amanda Reynolds face multiple charges of child abuse and animal neglect after authorities discovered their children living in a home filled with animal waste, trash, and dead animals, with reports indicating the children had resorted to eating in the bathroom due to the unsanitary conditions. During the police visit, the Reynolds were found to have multiple pets and a filthy environment, with feces covering the floors and children without clean clothes. Both cases highlight alarming instances of neglect and the urgent need for intervention to protect vulnerable children.
