Mom Arrested For Unlawful Conduct Towards Children

South Carolina police found three kids living in a home with a foot of trash covering the floors, including rotting food.

Somehow, the kids -- ages 8, 9 and 10 -- are in good condition... but mother Alison Alsbrooks Scurry was arrested and charged with three counts of unlawful conduct toward a child.

"She basically stated that the situation became one where she was overwhelmed as a single parent trying to work and kind of do it all," Melissa Addison of the Sumter County Sheriff's Office told WISTV.
