Police rescued two young children from a Temple, Texas, residence filled with rotting garbage after neighbors reported a strong odor. The officers described conditions that included insect infestation and unsanitary surfaces throughout the property.
John Robbins, 68, and Michael Robbins, 34, were taken into custody on May 22 and each face two counts of endangering or abandoning a child. Officers from the Temple Police Department had entered the home two days earlier following complaints about the smell, which one officer noted smelled like death. The residence contained animal feces, maggots, and piles of waste on every surface.
