KENOSHA, Wis. — A Kenosha mother is facing multiple felony and misdemeanor charges after police discovered three young children and a dog living in squalid conditions inside her apartment.

Micaela Elaine Davis, 29, was formally charged Tuesday in Kenosha County Circuit Court with three counts of child neglect and four animal cruelty-related offenses. Prosecutors allege Davis allowed her twin 3-year-olds and a 5-year-old child with a disability to live in an apartment filled with feces, urine, garbage, and insect activity—posing serious risks to their health.
Police were called to Davis’ 22nd Avenue apartment on June 23 to investigate suspected animal neglect. Upon arrival, officers noted overwhelming foul odors, piles of garbage and diapers, and feces smeared throughout the apartment—including the children’s bedroom and bunk beds. Investigators found bugs swarming the mattresses and a clogged bathtub filled with an unknown black substance.
A Shiba Inu dog, also living in the unit, had no access to clean water and was described as fearful and dehydrated. Davis allegedly admitted the dog “flips” his water bowl. Officers seized the dog on the spot.
Davis initially claimed her children had not been removed by child protective services and were with a babysitter. However, she confirmed they had been staying in the apartment the previous night and resided there regularly. According to officers, Davis attempted to blame the mess on the dog tipping over a garbage can but ultimately conceded to the apartment’s extreme filth.
Photographs provided by the apartment manager corroborated the unsanitary conditions, and a Department of Children and Family Services worker who responded concluded the home was not livable for children.
Davis faces the following charges:
- Three counts of child neglect (Class I felonies), each punishable by up to 3 years and 6 months in prison.
- Two misdemeanor counts related to animal mistreatment.
- One misdemeanor count of failing to provide water to a confined animal.
- One forfeiture offense for cruelty to animals.

During her initial appearance Tuesday, the Kenosha County District Attorney’s Office requested a $1,000 cash bail. Court Commissioner William Michel II granted the request. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for July 2.

Wood chipper for her. If you can’t fucking take care of kids you chose to have, you are a fucking waste to society. Put her in wood chipper and give kids to someone who actually cares. Shitbag.
I couldn’t even imagine what her feminine area smells like. And for the man who impregnated her, you have issues.
That’s the last thing I even wanna imagine
There should absolutely be some kind of testing involved to determine
competency to have a child. You know, like you have to do to drive a car…..
There is a very simple test which involves looking for blue or purple hair. “The more you know.” 🌈
Yeah, bitches like her should not be allowed to breed ever again! Those poor children! Is the Daddy anywhere?
If he is, he has to be aware of this and is just as guilty. WTF!
Maybe she wanted to have abortions but couldn’t.
She should have been aborted!
Where there’s a will there’s a way.
Waste of a brand new apartment
Instead of condemning her right away, I think it would be fair to consider the fact that she may be suffering from depression or something similar. Perhaps she is doing the best she can and needs some help.
Well the best she can ain’t good enough. It is possible to ask for help. No excuse.
There are lots of resources out there for her. Not taking care of your children is inexusable.
What a despicable human being!
She deserves nothing but the worst.
