Three people were jailed recently after Gwinnett County police found them living in squalor.
Two young children and a woman with disabilities were living in a home on Flowery Branch Road, where food was scarce and feces — human and animal — were everywhere, according to Channel 2 Action News.
Jonathan Burt and the children’s mother, Amanda Bray, are charged with child cruelty, while another resident, John Walling, is accused of neglect, false imprisonment and battery of a disabled woman.

Bray appeared in court Wednesday and bonded out of jail, but Burt and Walling were held in connection with probation, the television station reported.
Neighbor James Wehunt told Channel 2 he is so disgusted by conditions at the house that he can’t enjoy the outdoors.
“They have so many animals on the outside and inside,” Wehunt said. “I can’t have people over here.”
In 2014, 17 animals were taken from the home and the Division of Family and Children Services was called after authorities found an infant and an adult with disabilities living in “uninhabitable” conditions, Channel 2 reported.
