Nine children found in filthy Chicago apartment without heat, food

(Reuters) – Nine children have been removed from a filthy Chicago apartment reported to lack heat or food, and authorities said on Monday they were investigating neglect allegations.
Officers found the children, ages 3 months to 17 years, on Sunday afternoon after a report of a child left alone, a police spokeswoman said. Chicago’s Fox 32 television said the apartment did not have heat or food and quoted a police representative as calling it “filthy and unlivable.”
