Windsor police say a 29-year-old woman is facing charges after a wellness check resulted in two children being taken into the care of the Children's Aid Society.
Officers responded to the east-end house around 11 a.m. on Thursday for a welfare check involving several dogs. While in the home, police found two young children living in unsanitary conditions.
Police say the house contained animal urine and excrement, insects, and an apparent lack of food.
Six dogs and two cats were in the house. One dog was deceased.
Both children were checked out in hospital and are now in the care of Children's Aid. The animals were removed and placed in the care of Progressive Animal Welfare Services.
The suspect's name is not being released to protect the children’s privacy.
The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information should call the Windsor police's Child Abuse and Sexual Assault Unit (CASA) at (519) 255-6700, extension 4903.
