Police reported unsanitary conditions and a foul odor at the home.
A 37-year-old woman has been arrested for child cruelty after allegedly leaving six young siblings to fend for themselves, according to Georgia police.
Douglasville police said they found the kids, who ranged in age from 1 to 10 years old, unsupervised at the home on James D. Simpson Avenue on March 29.
'I thought everything was OK, but I just know she's never home, she's never there, and it's just sad.'
The oldest child told police they were forced to eat cockroaches and ants. Police believed they were left alone for about 12 hours.
Arrest warrants state that police found the home to be lacking "adequate food or suitable living conditions," and they reported a "strong, foul odor consistent with unsanitary living conditions."
