Around midnight on Thursday, Texas deputies were sent to a house after a neighbor called 9-1-1 to complain about, "too much crying." When there was no answer to the front door, deputies went around to the backyard. They reported, "There was no slack in the chain. His pants were down. You could tell he'd been here for a while. And then a short distance away, a 3 year-old girl was tied to a door with a dog leash who was just exhausted." The two children were quickly rushed to the hospital. Deputies decided to check inside the house and discovered six more children ranging from 10 months to 13 years, clearly abandoned with no adult supervision whatsoever. The mother was found and she was charged with injury to child by omission.
It is truly disheartening to hear what these children and to go through and what they will probably remember for the rest of their lives. But, I am glad that officers discovered these children early enough before anything else happened to them. The deputies were able to respectively search the house and save the other children thanks to the 4th amendment, established in 1791, which states, "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” It is also great to know that the mother is being rightfully charged for her ignorance and neglect.

This is very sad to hear, but I'm glad that the kids are safe now.
