Two parents face child abuse charges after their children were reported to be running around naked in traffic, covered in human waste, According to Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office.

Danielle Roberson, 34, and Jacob Roberson, 32, were detained, and each was charged with the charges of five child abuse cases in connection with the incident in September. 8th, according to the sheriff's department.

The deputies first noticed naked children who were snooping around in Wright at around 9:00 a.m. After returning the child to safety, they spotted him and brought him to a nearby house. In the home, they saw another naked child covered in feces, running out of the house, according to officials.

"OCSO Deputies and an investigator found deplorable conditions throughout the residence, as well as prescription medications within reach of a total of five children, all under the age of 12," the sheriff's office said in a post on Facebook.

According to officials, the Department of Children and Families assists in the investigation. The state of the children's welfare has not been made public.

Authorities have not released details on the possibility that the Robersons have entered plea bargains or retained lawyers. The sheriff's department also did not release information on the age of the boys who were seen out in the open or on the other three children discovered in the house.

The act of child neglect can be a grave crime in Florida. In the state's law, it's defined as the inability of a caregiver to provide the child with the necessary care, supervision, and assistance to maintain mental and physical health.

The Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office urges anyone who suspects that a child has been abused or neglected to report the incident to the authorities. There is a hotline for abuse in the Florida Department of Children and Families provides a 24/7 hotline for victims of abuse, which is available at 1-800-962-2873.

This case raises concerns regarding child welfare in the state. In the state, the Florida Department of Children and Families has reported more than 28,000 confirmed instances of child abuse during the fiscal year 2020-2021. This is the most recent information available.

Child protective and law enforcement services continue to examine the circumstances that led to this incident.
