A woman, Malista Ness-Hopkins has been accused of keeping two of her children in dirty cages, like animals. The 38-year-old who has five children kept two of them in cribs with lids screwed on to the top, making escape impossible.
According to court records and testimony during a probable cause hearing in Accomack County court, Ness-Hopkins and the children were living in unwholesome and unsafe surroundings covered with filth, dirty diapers, lice and insect bites. The woman who resides in Mears, Virginia, was charged with five counts of abuse and neglect of those children.
