Parents charged with neglect after abandoning children, police say

Jason and Kira Askea were arrested after deputies found their three children alone and living in a tent at Little Tallapoosa Park in Carroll County. A nearby camper called for help after noticing the children appeared hungry and covered in feces. Deputies said the 2-year-old, who has Down syndrome, suffered brain damage from medical neglect, while all three children showed signs of dental neglect; they are now in DFCS custody.
