Cantonment Couple Charged After Children Found Living In Squalor

December 22, 2018

A Cantonment couple was arrested after authorities found two children living in squalor.

Camie Denean Linton, 36, and Robert Clinton Wooten, 37, were each charged with two counts of felony child abuse.

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office responded after the Department of Children and Families requested a welfare check due to possible child neglect.

Deputies found “a deplorable residence with black mold on the ceiling and walls,” according to a Sheriff’s Office report. They also found cans of rotting food with insects, floors completely covered with piles of clothing and trash, food containers with flying insects inside, and a syringe in a Styrofoam cup that was covered with spider webs, according to the report. The electricity did not work in parts of the residence.

The children’s grandmother told deputies that the children did not have any food and would beg her to bring them food.

DCF took custody of the children and placed them with another family member.

Linton and Wooten remained in the Escambia County Jail with bond set at $10,000 each.

    @ Master Mechanic

    Way to turn this story into a crummy anti-immigration message.

    At least migrants are trying to improve living conditions for their families. The people in this story are the ones we should be deporting.
