PHILADELPHIA — Federal authorities executed a search warrant at a Northeast Philadelphia home, discovering two children living in what sources describe as squalid and deplorable conditions. The parents were taken into custody following the raid.

Philadelphia police identified the arrested individuals as Thomas Bach, 43, and Megan Bach, 44. The home, a brick residence, showed signs of neglect with boarded-up sections and an unkempt exterior.

Investigators found the children in unsafe and unsanitary living conditions inside the property. Details about the exact nature of the squalor have not been fully released, but the discovery prompted immediate action by authorities.

The case has drawn attention to issues of child welfare and home safety. The children have been removed from the home and are receiving appropriate care. The investigation continues as charges against the parents are expected.
