Melinda Barkalow came to the police station to report the two children missing. She told police that she fell asleep after she put the children down for a nap. She said the children walked out of the back door.
Officer Holly Owens said both of their diapers were dirty, so she changed them at the police station.
Police checked the residence and the living conditions were “not good,” according to the police report.
One of the children was released to her mother, and the other was returned to Barkalow. Butler County Children Services was notified, according to police.
