Barbara North dubbed the neighborhood grandmother, called the police after seeing two naked boys standing behind a window smeared in feces. “They would have dookie all over their face, hands, mouth,” said North.

North refused to give up and called the police and DHS. “It says in the bible whoever has done unto a child has done it unto God, my calling is to be every child's grandmother,” said North.

Thankful that Ms. North refused to give up when the parents dodged her attempt to confront them.

update as follows:

A release was issued for both Aubrianna Freeman and Dakota Dodd on 11/21/24 hard to decipher the dockets but it appears they made bond or were released without bond but with conditions. those conditions are not specified. The docket doesn't list the next court dates for either.
