BOSTON —

Public officials in Massachusetts are expressing their disgust after four young children were found to be living in squalid conditions at a South Boston apartment.

First responders were called to an apartment at the Mary Ellen McCormack complex Saturday night after receiving a report that someone had suffered cardiac arrest.

According to authorities and public officials, the children — all under the age of 10 — were found in an apartment with sex toys, drugs, alcohol and six cross-dressing men.

An incident report filed through the Boston Fire Department states the kids were discovered by first responders after one of the adults in the apartment was found dead. Several adults in that apartment were also accused of hiding those children in a back room.

According to the incident report, the apartment was in "extreme unsanitary conditions," and all adults in the unit were being uncooperative and denied having children inside.

Boston City Councilor At-Large Michael Flaherty said he spoke with the firefighters who responded to that apartment and filed paperwork to make sure the state intervened with the children.

Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey confirmed the children are now in the custody of the state's Department of Children and Families, which is investigating the incident.

"It was obviously sickening to hear from those that were there at the scene describing what they saw, and the actions of the adults that were in the room," Flaherty said. "They were concerned. They had reached out to me just to make sure that it didn't get swept under the rug."

"Just heartbreaking. A terrible situation," Healey said. "DCF has taken those children into its care and custody right now."

Boston city leaders were seen doing a walk-through at the Mary Ellen McCormack complex. Flaherty said city councilors are planning to hold a hearing with the Boston Housing Authority to determine how a situation like this could have happened.

"The place is disgusting, and this is on BHA," Flaherty said. "They need to be doing a better job down there."

In a statement sent to NewsCenter 5, the Boston Housing Authority said it had received no prior complaints about the apartment where the reported incident had taken place. The BHA said it is working with the agencies involved in order to take the appropriate follow-up action. Read the full statement below:

"The Boston Housing Authority is working closely with the Boston Police Department as they continue to investigate the circumstances around the recent death at Mary-Ellen McCormack. BHA received no complaints about activity in this unit prior to the incident, but we care deeply about the safety of all our residents and are working actively with the agencies involved to take all appropriate follow-up action. BHA has a strong partnership with BPD and communicates with them often. The only call BHA received this year about this unit was for a routine maintenance issue in May, which was responded to appropriately at that time."

Apparently the city is slow to release official reports for reasons unknown. It was also reported one of the trannies attempted to prevent a firefighter from entering a back bedroom where children could be heard. Funny the MSM is reporting this huh? Goodness knows we wouldn’t want to upset a community! These kids could be or have been in any number of dangerous conditions including child trafficking. Massachusetts Department of Family Services has them now.

Interesting that GOP concern for poor children being abused or living in squalid conditions is only on display when cross-dressers are involved.

That is a categorically untrue statement.

That was a thought for sure, that these are trafficked children. Hopefully time will tell the details. Really sounds like a bad situation.

The facts would be easily ascertainable with a pair of pliers and a blowtorch. And I would be asking the questions afterward.

Did you say you're a lawyer?

I’m a man and a father first and I know like any other man does how to deal with a sick, dangerous animal. You go ahead and stick to the mollycoddling.

Looks like this case may have some questions that still need answers, not all of the evidence is supporting this lurid tale:

Leap to a conclusion, then get the facts. What could possibly go wrong?

Seriously, Bluefish, you don’t belong in a democracy. You would have had great success working with Reinhart Heydrich and Adolf Eichmann.

I didn’t make any leap but merely made my opinion of how to deal with the offenders if in fact this is a child trafficking issue.

You a father to someone Meow Meow? Would you not kill or die for your kid? Would you not agree there is no place in this world for child traffickers if that is the case? I lump them right in with the pedos. Like Steve said more questions than answers right now.

Bluefish, yes in fact, I’m a father several times over. But it doesn’t even take a father to want to nut a son of bitch like that.

That’s emotion. I believe in the rule of law. Not just your emotional utterance about, but your continued defense of Trump with no personal knowledge, shows you don’t.

Yes, I think we should coddle them with due process and a trial before administering punishment.

I admit though, that if I caught someone in the act of abusing a child, they might suffer grievous or mortal injury in the process of resisting my intervention.

If you caught someone sexually assaulting a person, use of deadly fire would be justified as sex assault is serious physical injury.

That notwithstanding, folks get the same due process protections as President Trump.
