How did the mother accused of child neglect in Pontiac treat her children over the years?

The mother is accused of leaving her children in deplorable conditions inside a Pontiac home for years. According to the report, she would only appear sporadically, weeks at a time, to provide minimal food supplies to the children and then disappear again. The case is so severe that the Oakland County Sheriff's Department is now collecting community donations for the teenagers who were eventually removed from the home by Child Protective Services. The teens are currently staying with a relative while authorities determine what charges will be filed against the mother for this extreme case of neglect.
