“Maybe he was disoriented or hungry or, you know, you never know what happened to that poor; that broke my heart,” said neighbor Isabel Goldberg.
The three children were taken to the hospital before being handed off to DCF.
All five adults are facing child neglect charges and are in jail without bond, on a hold for ICE.
