A Florida mother of five is facing five felony counts of child neglect after her daughter’s school reportedly found “hundreds of bugs” crawling out of her backpack in the lunchroom.

Investigators found an infestation of roaches, broken windows, soiled mattresses, and no edible food in the children’s home in Milton, Florida, according to a police report cited by local media outlets.
