Challenging Conditions: 15 Year Old Son Left to Fend for Himself Amidst Clutter and Lack of Amenities
According to True Crime Daily, In Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, authorities have arrested a 45-year-old woman Tiffani Bogroff, on suspicion of leaving her 15 year old son alone in a “cluttered” house for an entire month without adequate heat. According to the Manheim Township Police Department, officers responded to a report on Jan. 12, finding the juvenile living alone in the residence on North President Avenue. The teen informed the police that his mother had moved to New Jersey to be with her boyfriend and would occasionally return home. Allegedly, Bogroff’s absence left her 15 year old son in a precarious situation unsure of when she would return to Pennsylvania. Communication between them was reportedly limited to Facebook Messenger with Bogroff sending money on CashApp for food. The minor was left responsible for caring for two dogs and a cat in the house which lacked proper heat except for a space heater in their room, and had no running water or gas. Police also noted the home was filled with trash and spoiled food.
