Fox News
Devin and Tawnya White were taken into custody on Feb. 9 on charges of negligent child abuse after authorities found their home in Polk County, Florida, to be an environmental hazard.
Tawnya, an employee of the DCF for 13 years, was confirmed to be still working for the agency at the time of her arrest but was terminated upon the results of the investigation, according to the affidavit. The DCF requested the help of law enforcement after it had been attempting to see the inside of the home since Jan. 21 following a report about its conditions.
The two children living at the residence with Tawnya and Devin were 7 months old and 7 years old. There were also five dogs on the property, and four of them were kept inside.
