‘Smelled So Bad, Officer Was Retching:’ Couple Arrested, Children Found Covered In Feces A metro couple is behind bars after the welfare of their children drew concern from a neighbor. She called the police and later learned her hunch was spot on. “I’d go by that window and see them little boys naked in it, they looked at me as if to say help me,” said neighbor Barbara North. Oklahoma City Police entered the apartment in northwest Oklahoma City where they say officers found two naked children, ages three, and four, covered from head to toe in feces. Police said the children’s bedroom walls, furniture, and carpet were covered in the same filth. “The house smelled so bad the officer was retching while in the house because she was overcome by the smell,” said Oklahoma City Police Msgt. Gary Knight According to court filings, the apartment was so filthy officers wore hazmat suits. “When someone dies, they come out and they got the white uniform, fire, police, everyone was covering the parking lot,” said North. Barbara North dubbed the neighborhood grandmother, called the police after seeing two naked boys standing behind a window smeared in feces. “They would have dookie all over their face, hands, mouth,” said North. She says she tried to confront their mother and stepfather. “I’d walk around the front, knock on the door, they wouldn’t open the door,” said North. North refused to give up and called the police and DHS. “It says in the bible whoever has done unto a child has done it unto God, my calling is to be every child’s grandmother,” said North.
