Seven children were removed from a Hartsville-area home last month after a welfare check found unsafe living conditions, authorities said.
Investigation and Removal
Darlington County investigators, working with the Department of Social Services, served an inspection warrant at a Swift Creek Road residence. Following the inspection, seven children were placed into emergency protective custody. Authorities said individuals at the home tried to prevent the removal.
