Horrendous: The bedroom in the squalid home in Hartlepool, County Durham where two young children were forced to live in horrific conditions
No place to prepare food: The sickening conditions in the family's kitchen, where food containers and dirty plates and pans can be seen piled up
Sickening: A room in the house in which the family lived. A dog bowl can be seen on the floor amid piles of rubbish and household items
TV room: A huge television set balances precariously on a shelf in an area covered by furniture and clothes
Filthy: The toilet the children were expected to use, left, and the dangerous amount of rubbish and objects left at the top of the stairs in the home, right
Junk: CDs and rubbish lie on the floor in this room, while clothes and sleeping bags cover the sofas
