Police: Parents Arrested After 15 Kids Found Living in 'Deplorable Conditions' in Georgia

DFCS staff relocated the children after police found 18 people living in a two-bedroom apartment and charged three adults with cruelty counts.

  • Marietta Police Department officers arrested three adults—Ashley Jackson, Derrick Jackson, and Briana Reynolds—after discovering 15 children living in deplorable conditions at a two-bedroom apartment on Bells Ferry Road.
  • Last week, DFCS staff contacted the Marietta Police Department to conduct a welfare check regarding two children at the apartment complex after receiving referrals about conditions at the residence.
  • Detectives secured a search warrant and confirmed 18 people lived in the unit amid what officials called 'deplorable conditions,' with mold-spotted blankets, no food, and only nine beds for occupants.
  • All three suspects were booked into the Cobb County Adult Detention Center Thursday without bond, each facing charges of first- and second-degree child cruelty and misdemeanor marijuana possession.
  • Officials relocated all 15 children to safe environments, while Derrick Jackson faces an additional charge of crossing the guard line after police discovered marijuana at the detention facility.
