A Pontiac mother has been arrested for allegedly leaving her three kids unattended inside an apartment that didn't have plumbing and was littered with rotten food, feces and more.
According to the Oakland County Sheriff's Office, Teriomas Tremice Johnson is charged with three counts of second-degree child abuse.
Deputies began working the case on Friday after the oldest child, a 12-year-old girl, reported what she believed was a possible break-in at their apartment. Deputies determined the complaint was unfounded but discovered the apartment was in deplorable condition.
Johnson was not home at the time, but the 12-year-old and her 9-year-old brother and sister were inside the apartment with three cats.
According to the sheriff's office, the children said they have not seen their mother
