Chances are his age has a lot to do with CPS not being concerned about the condition of his fathers house. Or what is being described isn't accurate. A 17 yr old has the ability to pitch in and help clean, a child 5 yrs old doesn't..

You have a valid point but a 4 ft hole in the bathroom floor that goes down into the basement and sewage from a leaking septic system is a bit different than just dirty. It also appears that there are younger children in the home as well. The 17 year old does not appear to be the only child.
