The mother and father of seven children, ranging in age from 4 to 16 years old, were sentenced to prison in Pennsylvania on Tuesday and ordered not to contact their kids until they turn 18 and “only with approval of a court-appointed therapist” months after pleading guilty in a trailer house of horrors case, where caged animals were treated better and one creature, an exotic Tegu lizard, was fed salmon on its own TikTok account as all but one of the kids were malnourished, prosecutors say.

According to the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office, Shane Robertson, 48, and Crystal Robertson, 38, will go to state prison for the next eight to 16 years in the felony child endangerment and animal neglect case, a prosecution that had included allegations of assault.
