People disgusted as children forced to live in years of filth and dirt
ECHO readers have spoken of their horror after pictures were shared of a vile house which six children were forced to live in, despite the concerns being raised by social services 10 years previously.
The children were forced to survive surrounded by dog dirt, mouse droppings and used nappies in their Wirral home.
After a child neglect case was brought against their parents, one of Liverpool's top judges demanded answers on the children's welfare and what action was taken to protect them - after it emerged social services were first made aware of problems at the house 10 years ago.
Police had been called to an argument between the couple and entered the property earlier this year where they were confronted with what prosecutor Trevor Parry-Jones described as "a scene of unutterable squalor, more reminiscent of the Victorian slum era than the 21st century."
