Children under the supervision of Texas Child Protective Services were just moved our of a filthy home by their mother only after they were evicted.

But they didn't clear out before an unusual request was made.

 When Tina Tucker reclaimed her rent house over the weekend, this is what she found. A roach infested house, full of trash, walls and appliances covered in feces, and a stench that was unbelievable. Lee Tysinger is Tucker's maintenance man.

 "Absolutely deplorable. Destroyed furniture... turned over, ripped apart, food, dirty diapers. It did not appear that any trash was cleaned in the year it was occupied," said Tysinger

Tysinger says what makes this situation even worse, is that the mother and her four children were apparently clients of Child Protective Services. And a call Friday to the landlord was the straw that broke the camel's back.

"From what I understand from the home owner is that she received a call from CPS in Wichita Falls asking her to extend the termination of the lease and let the lady stay here with her four children in the best interest of the children," said

What really disturbed everyone is that the case worker called on behalf of c.P.S. asking for the children to be left in those conditions. His question: Who's watching out for those poor kids?

I talked with Marleigh Meisner with the Texas Department of Family Protective Services. She is initiating an investigation to see if what Tina Tucker said is possible. Meisner promised to follow up by tomorrow to see where this deplorable situation goes. We will defiantly follow up on this story when we get some answers from the state.

In the mean time, if you've got a question you want me to investigate, give me a call at 687-U-ASK, that number again, 687-8275.
