Two adults arrested after two-year-olds found alone in filthy Quebec City home

QUEBEC — The mother and grandmother of two toddlers have been arrested after the kids were discovered alone in a Quebec City residence police described as unsanitary.

Neighbours called police on Monday after they saw two two-year-olds alone in the home and were worried they would fall out of an open third-floor window.

Quebec City police spokesman David Poitras said when officers arrived they discovered the kids were locked inside a room with no adults in the home.

“The window screen was on the floor,” Poitras told Cogeco Nouvelles. “The children were on the window frame and there was nothing holding them back (from falling).”
