Thanks to an anonymous call for a wellness check at a San Joaquin Valley home, police discovered 86 dogs, an elderly woman, and a girl living in “unlivable conditions,” according to a March 19 statement.
Police in Ceres, just south of Modesto, arrested Lissette Stdenis 43, Seth Badal 43, and Freddy Vasquez 22, on suspicion of child abuse, elder abuse, and animal cruelty. The unnamed elderly woman was taken to a hospital for treatment and a check by Adult Protection Services, police said. The girl was also taken to the hospital and placed into Child Protection Services.
