The home where a Florida couple allegedly locked their six children in rooms with just a potty training toilet was in such deteriorated condition that officers said it was "difficult to breathe" when they went inside.

According to an arrest affidavit reviewed by Law&Crime, 42-year-old Nathan Forczyk and 41-year-old Laura Forczyk were charged with six counts each of child neglect and arrested on Tuesday. Both parents posted $30,000 bond and were released from the Brevard County Jail.

The investigation began when Nathan Forczyk called the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) for help with his children, according to Orlando ABC affiliate WFTV.
