A neighbor told them he discovered their plight after seeing the children playing with knives and tossing trash from the balcony.“As soon as I open the door, I see, like, mops being thrown down. I see a huge trash bag with dirty trash. I see dirty diapers,” said Artmanthesis Penilton, who lives next door.

“They were skinny. Their hair was just all over the place. All the little children were in diapers that were soiled,” Penilton said, describing what he saw.The report said Modesett is the father of one child and the uncle of the other four. Williams said she left the home around 11:30 a.m. Sunday to celebrate Mother’s Day. She said she left her children in the care of Modesett, who was once married to her late sister.
