Woman Left Her Elderly Father Alone With No Food Or Water For Days, ECSO Says
February 2, 2023
A Flomaton woman is charged with leaving her elderly father alone in an unkept home near McDavid with no access to food or water for days.
Tiffany June Quebedeaux, 40, was charged with felony neglect of an elderly person.
The sheriff’s office said the 82-year old man was found on a dirty mattress in the bedroom of his trailer on North Pine Barren Road after a family friend contacted authorities.
“I observed the residence to be falling apart,” a responding Escambia County Sheriff’s Office deputy wrote in his report. “I observed multiple holes in the floor, some being large enough to fall through. I observed multiple pieces of fruits and vegetables around the kitchen all containing mold. I observed cooking pots with food left inside that were covered in mold. I observed dirty clothes and trash to be all over the floor throughout the trailer.”
“I observed (the victim) to have multiple injuries to his arms and to have extremely outgrown nails and hair,” the report continued. The victim’s “bedroom was also covered in dirty clothes and trash. I also detected a strong odor of rotten food and body odor throughout the residence”
The victim told deputies that had been lying in the same spot in bed for four to five days. He stated that Quebedeaux was responsible for his care, but he had not seen her for about five days when she left with his wallet and cellphone, the arrest report states.
The victim said he was forced to fall out of bed and crawl on the floor to the kitchen for food and water. He said he had no way to pay for anything or call for help.
The deputy noted that there was no fresh or edible food or any water in the area around the victim. There were no walking aides or phones the victim could use to call EMS or use to get himself to the bathroom, according to the report.
A 5-gallon bucket was left for the victim, and it was about half full of urine and feces, the report continues. The deputy noted there was no concrete evidence that Quebedeaux took the wallet or money, but the investigation is continuing.
The Florida Department of Children and Families was also contacted, and the state agency has opened an investigation, according to the ECSO.
Deputies were unsuccessful to contact Quebedeaux by phone or at a residence on Creamer Road, and a warrant was issued for her arrest. She was released Wednesday night on a $2,500 bond

There’s two sides to every story
A child is ALWAYS morally and legally responsible for the care-taking of an elderly disabled parent. NOBODY should treat another human being this way. There are too many agencies around to go to for help! Disgusting piece of slime is what the daughter is…
Steve – you asked if there is an agency that someone could reach out to for help. The first place to reach out to would be the NW Florida Area Agency on Aging. They have case managers who can visit and make an assessment on services or if there are signs of elder abuse or neglect.
There’s a special place in HELL for people like her.
$2500.00 BOND!!!!
On this same website, someone mistreated a DOG and got no bond a few days ago.
This shows our society craziness with dogs. They are animals, not humans.
OMG poor fella!! I’m in tears this the most disgusting thing I’ve read in awhile. Poor poor man… I sure hope he can get the help and attention he needs. This hurts me because I’ve had it happen to me. It was short term 8-12h, just laying there, looking at the ceiling, wondering when or if anyone will ever come by to help, or if anyone even cared. I’ve just about lost faith in humanity, not many people care about anything today but themselves. This story is case-in-point. It took a lot but I was able to claw my way back from the brink. I hope this man can too. Much love brother and God loves you even though it may not seem like it.
Her dad was there for her when she needed her phone bill paid and electric bill was due and needed him to buy her a place to live. Now he needs her help and she is no where to be found. Letting the poor man barely survive in his own filth. What a great daughter.
@Steve, while you make some good points, she still had knowledge of his condition. She also left him there while taking his wallet and cell phone. He had no way to call for help or order food. If it wasn’t for the family friend that contacted authorities. he probably would’ve had a slow miserable death.
Well where is her sister that man has always pumped the money for those girls. But look at the two men they had kids with. Not a shock at all hopefully her and her sisters kids arent in there custody
NOT GenX. Which is commonly defined as born between 1965 and 1980. Making the youngest at 43 this year. Being only 40. This puts her as a GenY. 1981-1996. Or as they like to call themselves now, Millennials.
It’s bad that she is facing one of two things: 1. She will get a pat on the back and released or 2. She will have a clean environment to live in with fresh hot meals every day. The best part of this is that her father can now get the good care that he deserves. It a win / win situation for both of them.
HOW COULD SOMEONE TREAT THERE OWN FATHER THIS WAY . THERE MUST BE NO LOVE OR CONCERN FOR HIM . AS IT WOULD HAVE BEEM EASY TO JUST HAD PUT HER FATHER IN A RESTHOME . THERE HE WOULD HAVE BEEM TAHING CARE OF AND HAD SOMETHING TO EAT AS ONE WHO HAD TO PUT MY WIFE IN A RESTHOME , NOT FOR CONDITIONS LIKE THAT MAN WAS LIVING IN , BUT SHE HAD DEMENTIA . YES IT WAS HARD TO DO, BUT I KNOW SHE IS GETTING THE BEST CARE THAT I WAS NOT ABLE TO GIVE OR PICK HER UP. YES I GO TO SEE HER TWO TO MORE TIMES A WEEK AND I MISS HER VRY VERY MUCH NOT BEING HOME AND I LOVE HER STILL AS MUCH IF NOT NORE THEN THE DAY I SAID I DO,. BUT ONE DAY LORD
JESUS WILL HEAL HER AND WHAT DAY THAT WILL BE
A bond? WTH for?
I observed a person in this photo that don’t care about her farther in any way shape or form!!!!! If she was designated his care taker she failed !!! And should be held accountable for her actions!!!!!
What is going on with these folks not taking care of each other.
She’s a hateful soul to treat her own father like this. Bless his heart. You don’t treat animals like that!!! I pray they find the man help and put her away somewhere! She should have a lot more charges coming…I hope.
This is a hard one. The house falling apart did not happen over the 5 days and his condition of neglecting his personal hygiene also did not manifest itself over that time..
I understand that when a parent gets bed ridden that a child can be appointed the care taker, which they get money to do by some gov agency.
Was it determined she was appointed to do this task?
Not being mean about what happened, but just at what point is a child responsible for a elderly parent?
I know plenty of people that have not seen or spoke to a parent in decades.
Also what agency can a child or family member contact to get help? If its like any other agency it takes along time and not all cases are approved.
Then there is the fact that some people dont want to be taken away from their home and refuse help.
Again not being mean about what happened and not throwing out hate toward anyone. But being arrested is a big thing to happen if you have no responsibility toward care giving.
Another gen x’r for ya
A $2500 bond?!!! That’s all? This sounds like attempted murder if there is no good excuse for this kind of neglect. This is the way more than a few treat dogs and other animals in this local news area. My heart hurts when I hear of such as this. I hope this man does not have skin breakdown from all this. People can and do die of the complications of such things. I wish this women would comment on here with an explanation for this kind of behavior. I really would like to understand.
Shame, disgust
