When officials arrived they were met at the front door by dad Charles Garten, age 30, holding a 9-month-old infant in his arms. Garten allowed the officer and DSS officials into the home.
Inside the home police located mom Rebecca Schultz, age 21, hiding in a bedroom closet. According to DSS Schultz is not supposed to have any contact with the infant because of a previous issue.
According to police the home was in "deplorable conditions ... with heavy flea and roach infestation, canine fecal matter on the floor with dishes and trash strewn throughout the house". Two dogs were present and had to be physically restrained by Garten
