Mother Arrested After Children Wander For Food
Four children found wandering a neighborhood in search of food led police to a dehydrated and malnourished 15-month-old boy.
The boy was found in a crib wearing a diaper that had not been changed in at least 12 hours, Colorado Springs Detective Terry Duran said Friday. Lisa Williford, 30, was jailed Wednesday night on suspicion of felony child abuse.
Williford had left four children, ages 4, 3, 2 and 15 months old in the care of an 8-year-old to go work as a security guard. The children are now in foster care.
Officers found no food in the house that was littered with garbage and clothes and emitted an odor that could be detected in the yard.
"I've never seen a house in that bad condition," Duran said.
