A welfare check on a nine-day-old infant at a Mississippi home led authorities to charge three people under accusations they neglected the child and several animals. The Panola County Sheriff’s Department said deputies were called to a home on Morris Lane on Sept.

The baby, eight dogs, a cat and a horse were all rescued from the home and three people were arrested, according to the sheriff's office.
