A couple has been arrested and charged after authorities allegedly found a 1-year-old baby and an elderly man living in "deplorable" conditions inside a roach-and-mold-infested Florida home. Authorities first became aware of the situation when a welfare check was called on the 81-year-old man living in at the property of Nikolas Anthony Cummings and Tashaye Driaunah Brown on Tuesday, January 13. When the Flagler County Fire Rescue Unit arrived at the scene, they found the house had a horrible smell and was filled with "piles of debris, garbage," and "cockroach droppings." As the rescue unit made attempts to assist the elderly man, roaches reportedly "emerged from the mattress and clothing worn by the elderly male," according to the police report, per Law & Crime. They also noted that the mattress appeared to have been "defecated and urinated on, countless times." While searching the rest of the house, which was also reportedly covered in trash and "sticky surfaces," deputies found a 1-year-old baby sleeping in a playpen in the living room. "Roaches and bugs were observed crawling over [the 1-year-old] while he slept," the report read. Couple Arrested After Keeping Lice-Infested Foster Kids in Filthy Home When Brown, 31, was asked to show officers the "necessary food items for the child," they "immediately observed mold growing throughout the fridge and on top of clearly expired food." Detectives returned to the Florida home the following day and found the home and child in similar conditions with "several cockroaches" spotted inside the Pack 'n Play. In an attempt to alleviate the bug issue, Brown allegedly sprayed Raid roach spray all around the house. "More specifically, each night she flips [the 1-year-old's] portable enclosure upside down to shake the insects out," the report continued. "Then [Brown] places [the 1-year-old] back inside and sprays a 'protective' tight circle of Raid Roach Spray around the immediate base of the enclosure." Additionally, during the investigation, the detectives "repeatedly removed insects" they saw near the child, but the bugs continued to "endlessly" come from the "fabric of the enclosure." According to Raid's website, sprays should only be applied to the home when children and pets are outside or in another room. Windows should be opened to "ventilate the room thoroughly" at that time and product labels should be read for instructions on how long the spray takes to dry so they can understand how long residents and animals need to stay away from the treated areas.

According to the report, it had an "overpowering stench" of urine. He reportedly was alert but unable to move himself to the bathroom or even change his dirty clothing. The situation was so severe that "insects were seen emerging from his socks and scabs on his legs," according to the detectives' affidavit. Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staley released a statement confirming that the "deplorable" living conditions were "no place for a toddler or a senior with serious medical issues." He continued, "These two feigned ignorance over the trash, feces and insects covering the floors, walls and victims inside the home. This was not a matter of money, they did not care about the hygiene of their home, the welfare of their child, or the medical needs of their family members. They put in zero effort." The couple was taken into custody on Wednesday, January 14, and both charged with one count of "neglect of an elderly or disabled adult without great body harm" and one count of "cruelty toward a child without great bodily harm." Both are felony charges. Cummings, 32, and Brown were initially held on $15,000 bond at the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility. According to court records, Cummings was released on Thursday, January 15, and Brown posted bond the following day and was released on Friday, January 16. They are scheduled to return to court on February 4. If you or someone you know is experiencing child abuse, call or text Child Help Hotline at 1-800-422-4453.
