Seems UNNAMED DAD has drug and alcohol problems in addition to be a slob. Apparently this is another dysfunctional deadbeat dad acting as a babysitter while Mom works.

Father accused of letting kids live in ‘disarray’ is free on bond
Posted Jan 23, 2012 @ 11:15 PM
A city man arrested Saturday after officers found his southeast side residence in “total disarray” while checking on the well being of several young children is free on bond.
The man, 24, was arraigned Monday in Municipal Court on one court of child endangering, a first-degree misdemeanor. The Independent generally does not name suspects charged with misdemeanors. The man was released from jail after posting 10 percent of a $1,000 bond. He pleaded not guilty and is due back in court Feb. 21 for a pre-trial hearing.
Police reportedly observed a 1-year-old girl trying to eat fingernail polish at the residence after responding to the residence in the 1200 block of 16th St. SE. Officers also reported that they found drug paraphernalia in the kitchen and little food in the refrigerator. There were five children at the home, including two who were visiting. The arrested man, the father of two of the children, had alcohol on his breath, according to police.
“Apparently, there was a subject that went to the house and was checking on the situation,” said Massillon police Sgt. J.J. DiLoreto.
“... (Suspect) was supposed to be watching them but he was passed out upstairs. They woke him up and apparently got a hold of the mom who was at work. Another gentlemen who was supposed to be there watching the children apparently went to work.”
Police notified Child Protective Services, which placed the three children who lived at the residence with a family member, police reported.
