The mother and her boyfriend were tracked down, questioned — and released without charge.
There were no adults to be found. Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said the children had been"abandoned, pretty much."Speaking to reporters at the scene, the Sheriff described it as"a very horrific set of circumstances," adding that the children had been"living in pretty deplorable conditions."
"Our hearts break for those three... I mean, they're still children. And for the one that has passed away," he said.He added:"I think the older sibling was basically doing the best he could to take care of the others." Sheriff Gonzalez said it did not appear as though the children were locked into the apartment; he could not explain why it took the teen a year to report the death or seek help, adding he wasn't sure what access the children had to phones.
