Four young children have been rescued from an apartment in Boston, Massachusetts, where first responders found them surrounded by filth, drugs, and sex toys as “an adult man reportedly wearing a wig” tried to hide them. The responders had attended the scene, apparently a drag party, after receiving reports of an unconscious person who turned out to be a dead black transgender person.
The group of “six adults who appeared to be men dressed as women” were uncooperative when the responders arrived at the apartment, and denied the four youngsters, aged four to ten, were present, according to reports. City Councilor Erin Murphy said the fireman who found the children in a back room, despite the efforts of a man in drag claiming to be their father to conceal them, found the scene “really disturbing”.
“They just seemed scared,” Murphy said of the children, describing the “uncleanliness in the apartment, lots of sex toys and drug paraphernalia all over the place.” The dead trans person on the floor of the apartment was apparently killed by an overdose, and an investigation has been opened – but no arrests had been made as of the time of publication.
All four children, whose relationship with the men at the drag party remains unconfirmed, have been placed into care.
