A Laurel County man and woman have been charged with abuse after sheriff’s deputies said they found a 2-year-old boy playing in the floor of a home in which dog feces was an inch deep in places.
Two Laurel County sheriff’s deputies went to a home on Parks Subdivision in London Friday morning to do a welfare check, and when they went inside, the found the child playing in the floor with a bottle of bleach, the sheriff’s department said in a Facebook post.
Dog feces was in chairs and on the floor throughout the house “in some places up to an inch deep,” according to the sheriff’s office.
There was “a strong odor of ammonia” in the home and “dirty dishes and trash piled up on the floor and on the countertops.”
“The baby’s feet was covered in dog feces with dog feces caked around (his) toes,” the sheriff’s department said.
The boy’s father and aunt said they could not remember the last time he had been bathed.
The father, Joey Ridener, 30, and aunt, Tammy Hammons, 35, were charged with first-degree criminal abuse of a child 12 or younger.
They were taken to the Laurel County Detention Center.

KSP: Woman endangered children
Appalachian News-Express
A Mouthcard woman was arrested Wednesday evening after, Kentucky State Police said, a visit to her Pike County residence led the responding trooper to believe that the children were placed in harm by conditions there.
According to court documents, KSP Trooper T. Ritchie responded with social services to the Big Hackneys Creek residence of Melinda Adams, 34, where she was living with her two small children.
Ritchie wrote that the youngest child still had pancake syrup in his hair and on his face from when the trooper had been at the residence two days before.
While looking at the residence, Ritchie wrote, he noticed multiple electrical wires taped throughout the floor. All doors inside the residence, including the bathroom door, Ritchie wrote, were tied together with string, allowing no access, and a board blocked the kitchen from the living room.
Adams, the citation said, had made no effort to clean up the residence since a prevention plan was put in place by social services, and told the trooper there was no hot water in the house and only the living room had electrical service.
Ritchie wrote in the citation that the conditions at the residence placed the children in harm. The children were placed by social services and Adams was lodged in the Pike County Detention Center on a charge of endangering the welfare of a minor.
Court documents show she pleaded not guilty Thursday and was ordered held on her own recognizance by Pike District Judge Tommy May. Jail records show she was released Thursday and is scheduled to be back in court July 23 with orders that she follow all recommendations of social services and have no new violation of the law.
I believe I seen these folks at the Trump rally in Lexington
That was your Mom and Dad !
KAG at a Trump rally? I wouldn’t have guessed it.
I could picture her being thrown out of one Super! 🙂
Charles, AKA John Preston:
People like this do not vote for Donald Trump. News Flash, people like this feed on government subsidized systems like welfare, Medicaid, and multiple other programs. Donald Trump increased restrictions on these programs. Thus, it’s safe to say, and much more logical as well, that they probably support the people screaming “FREE EVERYTHING” at the top of their lungs.
well I hate to bust your bubble about 80% of the red states that voted for Trump are dependent on federal tax dollars take Ky for example who Trump carried by about 65% for every dollar they give to the federal government they get $2.35 back
I’m the real Charles Dr. Franklin, the fake ones comprise a number of people now, KAG being one, but there are others now. I guess I am a popular guy! 🙂
or just maybe wrong 95% of the time
KAG, 100% of states rely to some degree on welfare (of whatever form), 100% of states have unfilled jobs, because people would rather lay on their lazy a$$, than work. New York and California have more welfare recipients than all the Midwest combined (you live in the Midwest KAG). Liberal media doesn’t point this out to their sheep however. There is no reason to abuse children, NONE. You can live on welfare and give your child a bath, or be rich and do the same. The TRASH mentioned in the above article are a result of the LBJ give away/help the poor system created in the 60’s, that in reality helped no one. The result was a class of people who had children to increase their income, nothing more. Donald Trump is the greatest President of my lifetime, and the American economy is booming, that doesn’t change a thing with some, they love ‘money for nothing’, their children are a bother to them other than on the 1st! I hate it for those little ones, I pray for these little ones and I can do nothing, social services wont do anything, they are also waiting on the 1st. The commiecrats started a system to get votes, and the children pay the price, what a damn shame it is.
again DA California has over 40 million people New York has over 20 million people
but when you give the federal gov $1.00 and get back $2.35 you are overwhelming dependent on the federal gov just try to keep up
There are 245 million people who don’t live in California or New York, and yes these two states absorb a good chunk of welfare dollars. Sadly it isn’t a result of their population, but the liberals that run these two states. If all states did what they do America would be a third world nation.
They look like lazy pieces of crap, over eating, over sitting on their big butts, guarantee the dog crap smelled better than these two pos. Surprised they wasn’t reported sooner. Sickening people.
It does so little good to report it Chris, what do those fat bi**h’s at social service/CPS do? NOTHING! They sit on lard, until their check gets there on the first. They put on an act of helping children.
