Two parents are facing aggravated child neglect charges after police found a child locked in a room and several dead animals inside the family’s freezer.
Soddy Daisy police received a tip and visited the home on Depot Street for a welfare check. They found three children living in poor conditions.
Investigators said a neighbor concerned about three children living there decided to call. They took them to the hospital to be checked out after seeing the filthy conditions.
Dustin and Staci Tallent are facing aggravated child neglect charges. On top of that, officers discovered nearly two dozen animals. About half of them were dead in a freezer. The Humane Educational Society of Chattanooga was called in to help rescue the ones still alive. They’re now treating four dogs, three cats, 1 rabbit, a snake, and a lizard. Family members said they didn’t realize the couple had so many animals. HES’ executive director said they’ll be filing animal neglect charges against the couple at the minimum. That’s in addition to the charges they’re already facing.
