Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald has authorized three charges of child abuse against the mom of three kids who abandoned her kids inside a Pontiac home for almost five years.

McDonald announced the charges on Wednesday, four days after the initial news of horrific conditions inside the Pontiac home, saying that 34-year-old Kelli Bryant is the only one facing criminal charges: three felony counts of first degree child abuse. Each charge carries a maximum jail time of life in prison.

"Morally, there is plenty of responsibility to go around for how this was allowed to happen. However, these three kids were entrusted to the care of their mother, Kelli Bryant. And the evidence suggests that she effectively abandoned them to a revolting pit of refuse and squalor," McDonald said.
