Evansville Police were called to 1316 Henning Ave at 5:30 on Monday evening for a report of 3 small children left alone in their home.
Officers arrived and found the children, all under the age of 3, alone in the home. The kids were left in a bedroom that was dead bolted shut. Officers had to climb in the home through an unlocked window and then use force to open the locked door to reach the children. The children did not have food or water when officers arrived. The only access to a toilet was a training potty that was in the locked room with them. The youngest had a soiled diaper that did not appear to have been changed recently.
They told officers their mom was at work. Police were able to locate LAKEYVIA DELK, 27, and arrested her for 3 counts of Child neglect.
CPS came to the scene and removed the children from the home.
