Seven children were removed on 09/06/23 due to significant neglect (educational, enviormental, and physical), as well as substance use. The children have severe lice infestations and typical over the counter treatments have not been successful for at least two of the seven children. The Department is intending to have at least two of the children professionally treated for lice so they can retain their hair and return to school. The children are in significant discomfort because of the lice.
