A mom contacted PPD at 8:30 p.m. to report that her 11-year-old child had run away. Officers took information for a report.
Just after midnight, she called police to say the child was home. When officers arrived on the scene, they woke the sleeping child to have a little talk and were shocked at the condition of the home.
Police said they were barely able to walk through the home as it was packed with clutter and filthy.
Officers updated detectives about the situation and contacted code enforcement about the condition of the home.
