Police arrested a Bethlehem couple today for allegedly refusing for more than two years to take their 7-year-old and 9-year-old children to the dentist, leaving the kids with rotten and decaying teeth.

City police charged Donna and John Grobelny, of the 900 block of Wyandotte Street, with two felony counts each of endangering the welfare of children. Police also charged Donna Grobelny with four counts of reckless endangerment and John Grobelny with two counts of reckless endangerment.

Both children were taken to St. Luke's Hospital for examination. Court records describe the 9-year-old's teeth as black and green.

District Judge Nancy Matos Gonzalez arraigned the Grobelnys today and sent them to Northampton County Prison. John Grobelny, 39, failed to post 10 percent of $35,000 bail, and Donna Grobelny, 44, failed to post 10 percent of $15,000 bail.

The alleged offenses are believed to have occurred between January 2009 and April, according to court records.
