3 charged in MS neglect case after call for baby leads to horse, dogs

PANOLA COUNTY, Miss. — A ******** check on a nine-day-old infant at a Mississippi home led authorities to charge three people under accusations they neglected the child and several animals.

The Panola County Sheriff’s Department said deputies were called to a home on Morris Lane on Sept. 14.

“They entered the house (and) the trailer and it was poor living conditions in the house,” said Panola County Sheriff Shane Phelps. “There was a nine-day-old baby there.”

They say they found the nine-day-old in conditions that caused them to call Child Protective Services. The child was taken into protective custody.

While there, authorities say they found a severely neglected horse that was left without food or water.
