PALM BAY, Fla. — A Palm Bay couple has been arrested and charged with multiple counts of child neglect and endangerment after police discovered several children living in what officers described as “unsafe, unsanitary, and hazardous” conditions inside their home.
According to the Palm Bay Police Department report, Officer McMahon responded on September 2, 2025, to a call in reference to a Department of Children and Families (DCF) joint response. Upon arrival, officers observed that the defendant, Nathan Forczyk, and co-defendant, Laura Michelle Forczyk, had been confining children—ranging in age from toddlers to older minors—inside separate locked bedrooms.
Each locked room reportedly contained only a child-sized potty-training toilet. Officers noted that the children had no access to food, water, or restroom facilities and were living without basic hygiene supplies, such as soap or means to wash themselves.
