Sonora, Ca — George and Jeannie Eaton of the 100 block of Tidwall St. in Sonora have been charged with Child Endangerment after police officers discovered the horrific living conditions they subjected their nine and 11 year old boys too.
The Eaton´s would not allow a social worker to enter the home Monday evening, so officers were dispatched. Inside the home they found trash bags full of rotting garbage, in some places stacked five feet tall.
The toilet had feces all over the outside of it and the bathtub had feces and urine inside of it.
There was old and decaying food all over the kitchen, along with rotting fast food items throughout the house. The children spoke about rats running all over residence, and pointed out a dead decaying rat to officers.
The two boys were taken into protective custody by Child Welfare Services. The Sonora PD investigator working the case called it the “worst living conditions he had ever seen.”
