A Fairfax couple have been charged with child endangerment after their 17-year-old daughter brought two mold-covered lunches to school and police found the family living in a home filled with rotten food, dirty laundry, insects and cat feces, New Castle County police said.

The girl and her twin brother, the children of Ronald B. and Nancy E. Tieste, are staying with their grandmother, she said Sunday night. The Tiestes' home at 208 Waverly Road in Fairfax has been condemned by a county code inspector, police said.

The Tiestes could not be reached for comment Sunday night. Neighbors along Waverly Road said the Tiestes' house was always filled with trash, but the children usually seemed happy and healthy.

The case against the Tiestes is spelled out in documents filed in Justice of the Peace Court by a New Castle County police officer on Friday. Police released information about the charges Sunday.
