A Milwaukee mother and her boyfriend face several felony charges after two children were found roaming the streets of Milwaukee naked and filthy, according to a criminal complaint. Katie Koch, 34, and her boyfriend, Joel Manke, 38, face a total of 10 felony charges for chronic neglect of a child and false imprisonment. A criminal complaint says on July 13, neighbors spotted two naked children on the streets near 71st and Dixon. One neighbor says he spotted the kids in the street as he returned home in his car. He says, they appeared to be wearing costumes. “It looked like they were wearing wigs,” Rick Eder said. “When I got a closer look at them, I looked at my wife and tell her, that’s not costumes. It looked like they were hit with a belt. That was more terrifying than anything, seeing a child like that.” More details here: https://www.tmj4.com/news/local-news/children-found-naked-filthy-roaming-milwaukee-streets-mom-boyfriend-charged-with-child-neglect ---- TMJ4 News in Milwaukee, Wisconsin is your source for local breaking news, in-depth investigations, the latest weather and traffic, and livestreams on news happening right now.
