Cops are trained to handle any situation while out on patrol, but nothing could have prepared these cops for what they found inside one Florida family’s home.
In 2012, Travis and Robin Royall had their children taken away from them by The Department of Children and Families (DCF) after their kids were found living in filth. After getting their children back, cops would occasionally come by to check on the home, but when cops recently pulled up outside their dilapidated Florida home, they knew something was wrong by the smell.
Before entering the home, the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s deputies could see piles of garbage against the house, but what they found inside was so much worse. The floors were wet and sticky with pee and human feces, there were piles of trash, dirty laundry everywhere, and the toilets, which were full to the brim, had not been flushed in weeks.
Yet, it wasn’t until the cops reached the kitchen that they understood how bad the situation was. “When I opened the fridge, you could barely see the bottom of the drawers and shelves due to the amount of dead cockroaches, bugs and cockroach eggs. When I opened the oven, about 100 cockroaches fell down and began scattering. The oven was full of discarded food and appeared to not have been cleaned for years,” the deputies reports detailed.
The Royalls’ two little boys, who had been found in a room with a hole in the roof and covered in spiders and cockroaches, were taken from the home by the DCF for a second time, and have been temporarily placed with their family members who have been helping clean the house.
“The children are thriving, safe and staying with a family member. We are fully cooperating with the Department of Children and Families and will continue to do so throughout this ordeal,” extended family members said.
