The officer also reported that the living room had food and feces all over the floor with a trail tracking to the bathroom. As he made his way into the hallway and to the bedrooms and bathroom, he saw a woman later identified as the mother of the children sleeping in her bed with the infant in the master bedroom.

The officer called to the woman to wake her up and make her aware of the situation. She came out of the bedroom quickly and seemed baffled by what was going on. The officer explained to her what happened and why he and the chief were in her house.

In the report, the officer stated the woman told them it was impossible for the kids to get out of the house because the door was dead bolted. The officer saw that the dead bolt was installed in a high position on the front door and required a key to open from either side.

After seeing the living conditions, a decision was made to call the Division of Family Services (DFS) hotline to get some help for the children. After calling DFS the officers finished walking through the rest of the house to document the conditions.

While waiting for DFS the mother started cleaning up the house and cleaning up the kids. The officer asked her where her husband was and she said "he's at work." The officer asked Kristina if she would call him, and she did.
