19 children found living alone in sweltering house

Jackie Farah

A Bowling Green (Kentucky) woman has been charged with child abuse after Warren County authorities removed 19 juveniles they said were left unattended for about a week in her sweltering home.
The local sheriff's office responded to a check welfare complaint at a home at 130 Kingston Way around 11:30 p.m.
When deputies arrived, they found 19 children ranging from 8 months to 14 years old with no supervision, no working air conditioning or food.
All of the children were transported and treated at the Medical Center then placed into protective custody of the state.
Jackie Farah, 32, is charged with 14 counts of first-degree child abuse and five counts of first-degree wanton endangerment. Authorities said Farah is the biological mother of some of the children involved and had asked neighbors to check on the children while she left.

She was traveling from Chicago to Bowling Green when officials discovered the children and instructed her to report immediately to the sheriff's office. Farah was arrested Tuesday afternoon after speaking with authorities.
Nine dogs and one cat were also removed from the residence by the Warren County Sheriff's Office Animal Control. Authorities said living conditions were found to be unacceptable for the juveniles and animals.
When police arrived at the home, they said temperatures were in excess of 90 degrees. Social workers from the Department for Health and Family Services were contacted and responded to the scene.
The sheriff's department is still investigating.

Why "no working air conditioning" is a child abuse??
Do you have to have an Air Conditioner?Is that really the law??

Who the heck did the other kids belong too?! 19 kids, 9 dogs and a cat?! How big was this sweltering, non-air conditioned, animal shelter, child storage facility!?

They should cut her some slack, after all she:

Seriously though, you'd think the damn neighbours would raise the alarm straight away, rather than the kids being found like that after a week.

@bravocorp
Having air conditioning or not isn't considered when determining 'child abuse'. The issue is the high temperature in the living space. I'm sure even an open window or fan would have helped to lower the temperature. At the very least it would 'air out' the apartment. Seeing as there were babies and animals, that would seem absolutely necessary(see changing a babies diaper\nappy!)

Yup. Any idiot can have kids and hold their lives in their hands.

And yet in my country you need a license to fish. Tell me how that makes sense.

With that many adopted children, she makes more money than Octomum in her porno video. She's definitely doing it for the $$$ that the government gives to raise adopted children.
