Shocking body camera footage has shown the moment Ohio police found an emaciated 3-year-old girl inside a dirty, cockroach-infested apartment.
Fairborn police were called to the apartment complex on Jan. 8 for a report that a young child was having difficulty breathing, the police reported. Dayton Daily News.
As officers entered the building, one could be heard gasping “Oh my God” as they walked through the trash-infested home, according to body camera footage obtained by Law and crime.
When they entered the girl’s room, they found her unconscious curled up in the corner of the room next to a dirty mattress covered in bug bites and said she weighed about 16 pounds.
The girl’s mother, Rabyah Nadhirah Muballigh, 25, has been charged with child endangerment and felony assault.

The boy (gagged), who was lying on a mattress, was not breathing properly, according to the 911 call.
The girl’s mother, Rabyah Nadhirah Muballigh (pictured), 25, has been charged with child endangerment and felonious assault.
According to police, Muballigh made the original 911 call and said, “There is a girl at 308 Wallace who is currently having trouble breathing and needs to get to a hospital as soon as possible.”
At first, police thought the 3-year-old was dead, but she was heard saying, “Oh, she’s still breathing, she’s still breathing, let’s go, let’s go.”
The officers removed the blankets they were using as curtains to let more light into the room while they searched the girl.
“Inside they located a young child who was conscious but not alert and was immediately taken by Fairborn medics and transported to a local hospital,” police said.
The girl’s bedroom was filled with bottles, sticky fly traps, and the mattress was covered in urine and feces. At one point, a cockroach is seen running across the wall in the gruesome body camera footage.
The images show mountains of garbage throughout the apartment and court documents describe the place as “messy and dirty,” according to WHO.
‘Several insects were observed crawling on the walls, floor and beds. A clear cockroach infestation was observed in each of the two bedrooms, as well as other areas of the apartment. Dead bugs and moldy food were visible inside the refrigerator and freezer,” an affidavit states.

The apartment was later found to be unfit for human occupancy and was condemned by Fairborn Code Enforcement.
Sergeant Nathan Penrod told the local news station: “He has a long road to recovery but continues to gain some weight.” But, again, she will probably be hospitalized for quite some time.
Muballigh had left the scene after making the 911 call, but police said they were able to convince her to return and then arrested her.
The 25-year-old told police she fled because she was afraid and suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder.
She is currently in the Greene County Jail, held on $500,000 bail and is undergoing competency and mental health evaluations for her trial.
