An Indiana couple was arrested on neglect charges after a naked child showed up on a neighbor’s front porch last month covered in bug bites.

According to WEHT, the neighbor called 911 and reported he believed the child came from next door and that she had “significantly” foul odor.

Vanderburgh County deputies went to the child’s home after the 911 call from the neighbor and spoke with Patrick Colbert, noting a strong smell of ammonia in the home. Inside the child’s room, where Colbert said the child was sleeping, and found complete disarray, including a diaper filled with feces and a bed filled with toys.

Colbert willingly told deputies there was an open case with children’s services from a similar incident last November. Children’s Services responded and removed the very dirty child, who appeared not to have been bathed in some time, taking her to a hospital, where emergency room personnel said the bug bites were apparently from bed bugs.

Colbert told deputies that his wife, Jessica, works full time as a nurse and that he’d let the house get in bad condition because things were overwhelming.

Detectives viewed photos of the home taken by deputies showing significant roach activity and other unlivable conditions. Police finally arrested the couple on Thursday and promptly released them on $750 bonds, according to WEVV.
