A Florida couple were arrested after failing to treat their daughter’s rotting teeth despite offers from school officials.

For months, officials at a school in Southport offered to give help to Jeremie Ervin Maloy, 31, and Cynthia Grace Maloy, 32, after they found that the child, whose name was not released, needed 17 rotten teeth removed. They didn’t seek treatment, prompting Bay County Sheriff’s Office officials to step in, according to the News Herald.
