Infants rescued from cold bolted home in Ansonia
In Ansonia on March 22 two infants were found in a cold bolted North Main Street apartment by Officer William Ready and nurse Marian Purbrick. Arele Thomas and a man named John Hiveratt faced neglect charges after courts heard the children were sometimes left alone from morning until night with little food beyond five unopened cans of condensed milk. The case was adjourned until Monday as police seek more information, with plans to return the children and woman to Virginia.
