Greer police have arrested a woman for child neglect after investigators said they discovered her 14 year old daughter had been living with her in a home with no electricity, no running water and very little food. Police said the girl also told them she had not attended school, or been home schooled within the past two years.
Police reports show the girl was picked up by Spartanburg County Sheriff's Deputies as a runaway. The girl said she left the home after an argument with her mother's boyfriend. After taking the girl home, the officer saw she sleeps on a mattress on the floor and the home appears to be almost an abandoned building. The officer wrote in the report that it looked as though the building could be condemned.
The girl told police her mother and her boyfriend have sold almost all of their belongings.
Geer police took the girl into protective custody and arrested her mother for child neglect.
