Three-Year-Old Hospitalized After Distressing Discovery in “Filthy” Apartment

A three-year-old child remains in the hospital after being found struggling to breathe last week, in what has been described as a distressing incident. The Fairborn Police Department discovered the child in a state of distress and immediately rushed them to the hospital. The victim is currently in stable condition, although they are still receiving intensive care.

Prior Coverage: Child Found in Critical Condition; Mother Facing Charges

This incident follows previous coverage of a three-year-old found in critical condition in a “filthy” apartment, with the child’s mother now facing charges. The circumstances surrounding this earlier incident, which occurred on January 8th, prompted the involvement of Fairborn officers who were dispatched to the 300 block of Wallace Drive. The 911 call came from a concerned parent who reported that their child was having trouble breathing and was alone in the apartment.

Upon entering the apartment, the police discovered a conscious but unresponsive three-year-old child. Urgent medical attention was immediately sought, with the child being swiftly transported to a nearby hospital. The investigation that ensued led to the discovery of shocking conditions within the apartment.

Disturbing Conditions Uncovered

According to court documents obtained by News Center 7, a search warrant was executed at the apartment. Police found a decaying mouse on the living room couch cushion, along with numerous fly traps covered in dead flies. Additionally, bugs were observed crawling on the walls, floors, and beds. The refrigerator and freezer contained dead bugs and moldy food.

The inspection of the apartment also revealed a bed with a severely soiled mattress and blanket contaminated with feces. Furthermore, numerous empty PediaSure-brand nutrition and protein drinks were scattered throughout the room. The overall state of the apartment was described in court documents as “cluttered and filthy,” rendering it unfit for human habitation. Consequently, Fairborn Code Enforcement condemned the premises.

Child’s Distressing Condition and Arrest of Parent

The child was found to be in a “grossly malnourished” state, with contracted legs likely resulting from malnourishment and extended periods of immobility. The investigation led to the identification and subsequent apprehension of the parent, 25-year-old Rabyah Muballigh. She is currently detained in the Greene County Jail, facing a felony charge of endangering children.

Community Shocked by the Disturbing Incident

Neighbours expressed their shock, stating that they had never witnessed the little girl outside. The community remains deeply concerned about the well-being of the child and eagerly awaits updates on her condition.

As the investigation continues, we will provide further updates on this distressing incident.
