An abandoned 3-year-old girl from North Lubbock, Texas reportedly told police officers "I need a beer," after they found her wandering around an apartment complex alone on Saturday afternoon.

The child's feet, face and hair "were extremely dirty," KCBD reported. She was wearing a soiled dress and appeared to not have been bathed for a few days.

The girl, who also asked for food, was covered in red bumps that appeared to be bug bites.

The apartment manager reported to police that the child's mother had left the girl alone on Saturday, and had done so on other occasions.

Police said the apartment the child shared with her mother was covered in cockroaches, trash and piles of moldy dishes.

The mother, Shauna Bennett, 42, was found passed out on the top bunk of a bunk bed. Her legs were also covered in sores and bug bites. Bennett said she thought her daughter was in the living room watching TV.

In actuality, police knew the girl has been left alone for at least two hours, according to the report.

One neighbor told the news station that she babysits the girl for up to 10 hours a day, four days a week due to her mother's work schedule. Another neighbor said he noticed the woman had recently fallen on hard times.

Child Protective Services took custody of the 3-year-old girl. Bennett was charged with child abandonment and endangering a child.
