Kelley, who prosecutors said played an outsized role in the children’s neglect, was sentenced to two years in prison in January after pleading guilty to one count of risk of injury to child. There were no underlying medical conditions the children suffered. “The house wasn’t a mess, there was no drug or alcohol issue we could find. “There were things I hadn’t seen like you might in similar cases in Hartford,” she said.

Any doctor – any person – would have recognized there was an issue, a medical condition.” Case stood out for its severity “This is the kind of thing that happens when kids aren’t brought to doctor’s appointments. “They could not even recognize each other as siblings,” Mahoney said. The children, who neighbors said rarely left the family home, were missing teeth, covered in fleas and nearly mute. State police said they found three children, ages 6, 5 and 3, in appalling states of neglect: underweight, still in diapers and socially and physically stunted. “The children weren’t beaten or verbally abused, but the neglect they suffered was at such a high level that their mental, educational, social and physical states were severely affected.”Īn investigation into the family, who lived for years at the home of their grandmother, Martha Kelley, at 39 Broad St., began in July 2016 as part of a child pornography sting involving the children's father, Nicholas Emory – Rodeheffer's husband - and his two brothers, James and Jason Emory. “The medical term used was ‘failure to thrive,’” State’s Attorney Anne Mahoney said in Monday phone interview.
