Houston mom who left kids for Africa trip is now in jail Chron.com - Houston Chronicle: "'The 1-year-old was so malnourished, they could feel his ribs when they picked him up,' Jordan said.
The roaches were only one sign of the squalid conditions in which the children lived, Jordan said.
There were no diapers, baby food or formula for the 1-year-old, no sheets on beds and fruit was rotting in a basket, he said.
Jordan said police went to a fast-food restaurant and bought the children food.
He said the 16-year-old girl didn't live with the family but was at the house when police investigated.
Mosley is being held without bond, Jordan said. She is scheduled to appear in court Wednesday, when an attorney will likely be appointed to represent her.
The family is from New Orleans, but came to Texas originally Port Arthur after Hurricane Katrina.
The children are all in foster homes.
CPS officials said when they took custody of the children that they saw no evidence Mosley was employed.
'We don't know how she was able to make payments on the home or if she has assistance,' CPS spokeswoman Estella Olguin said earlier this month."
