ATLANTA -- Police in Sandy Springs tells Channel 2 Action News a couple there forced three children to live in a drug house in unimaginable conditions.
Officers say they arrived at Michael and Dorothy Negron’s apartment on Roswell Road and found drugs, a gun and two of the children with cocaine in their systems.
The smell inside the Roswell Road apartment – according to two maintenance men who were there to check out the damage – was terrible.
Sandy Springs officials responded to a domestic call and say they ended up seeing something they could not believe.
Officials say when they entered the home of the Negron’s there were 2 small children inside as well as an 11-year-old girl. Authorities say the children’s diapers had not been changed in a while and needles from past drug use were on the floor and all over the apartment. Officials also found cocaine, meth and marijuana in the apartment.
Police say the children are the Negron’s children and grandchildren.
Authorities also found a loaded gun on the floor of the bedroom – within easy access of the children.
Two of the children tested positive for having cocaine in their systems – they were immediately taken to Scottish Rite Children’s Hospital and were taken into protective custody.
Officials say in their report that it was evident the children had been living in the conditions for a while.
A police report of the incident indicated that every surface was covered with some type of meth residue or needle and that the small children probably were exposed since they are so young – and would probably pick up and chew on anything they could.
