A father is facing a DCF investigation after his two children were found dirty, scared and lost in their own neighborhood, according to authorities.
Neighbors said it was strange to see the children walking around alone.
A woman also spotted the children a block away near a deep wooded area, records show. She noticed them peaking through her front window and called deputies, according to a report. When deputies arrived, they took the kids back to their house and questioned their father, a report said.
The father told deputies his kids were inside taking a nap, according to records.
According to the report, the boy is 7-years-old and the girl is 5. DCF is investigating this incident, but it is unclear whether the father will face any charges, according to the report.
