About this listen

They hadn’t been to school since 2020. Neighbors didn’t even know kids lived there. And when police finally entered the house… they found three children hiding in filth.

In this shocking 2025 case out of Pontiac, Michigan, three siblings were found living alone in a house described as unfit for animals—let alone children.

But where was their mother? And how had they survived for years?

This is the case of Kelli Marie Bryant.
