'Oh my God': Heartbreaking moment cops find starved, bug-bitten girl, 3, weighing just 16 pounds in trash-filled cockroach-infested Ohio home

Shocking body camera footage has shown the moment Ohio police found an emaciated 3-year-old girl inside a filthy, cockroach-infested apartment.

Fairborn police were called to the apartment complex on January 8 on a report that a young child was struggling to breath, reported the Dayton Daily News.

When officers entered the building, one could be heard gasping 'Oh my God' as they waded through the garbage infested home, according to body camera footage obtained by Law&Crime.

As they entered the child's bedroom, they found her unresponsive huddled in the corner of the room next to a soiled mattress covered in bug bites and said she weighed about 16 pounds.

The girls mother, 25-year-old Rabyah Nadhirah Muballigh, has been charged with endangering a child and felonious assault.

According to police, Muballigh made the original 911 call and said: 'There's a child at 308 Wallace that is currently having trouble breathing and she needs to go to a hospital as soon as possible.'

At first police thought the 3-year-old was dead, but can be heard saying: 'Oh she's still breathing, she's still breathing, let's go, let's go.' 

The officers tore down blankets being used as curtains to get more light into the room as the checked on the girl. 

'Inside they located a small child that 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 littered 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 horrific bodycam footage. 

Footage shows mountains of trash throughout the apartment and court documents describe the place as being 'cluttered and filthy,' according to WHIO.

'Various bugs were observed crawling on the walls, floors and beds. A clear infestation of roaches was observed in each of the two bedrooms as well as other areas of the apartment. Inside the refrigerator and freezer were visible dead bugs and moldy food,' an affidavit said.

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: 'She's got a long road to recovery, but she is continuing to gain some weight. But again, she's probably going to 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 then arrested her. 

The 25-year-old told police she fled because she was afraid and has post traumatic stress disorder. 

She is currently in the Greene County Jail being held on a $500,000 bond and is undergoing competency and  mental health evaluations for her trial.
