A nine-year-old found dead inside a southwest Harris County apartment may have been dead up to a year, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office.
Harris County deputies responded to a gruesome scene Sunday where skeletal remains were found and three children were left abandoned.
Quote:
The sheriff's office says they received a call from a 15-year-old claiming that his 9-year-old brother had been dead for a year in the apartment he shared with his siblings.
The teenage boy also told 911 dispatchers that his parents had not lived in the apartment with him and his two living siblings for several months.
When deputies arrived, they found skeletal remains consistent with what that teenage boy told dispatchers.
Authorities also said they found all three boys in the apartment, the teenager and his two brothers. They appeared to have been abandoned inside.
Late Sunday night, the sheriff's office said the mother of the children and her boyfriend had been found and were being interviewed by law enforcement.
$100 says that when the parents are charged they've been released by a Harris County judge and/or Ogg's department declined to prosecute for some sort of charge involving children.
