Gwendolyn Rolle, a 59-year-old pastor at New Hope International Church in Fort Pierce, Florida, was arrested on five felony counts of child neglect after allegations surfaced regarding her treatment of five foster children, aged 4 to 9. An anonymous tip led the Fort Pierce Police Department to investigate the children's welfare, revealing that they were forced to use a bucket as a toilet and bathe outside with a garden hose. In stark contrast, Rolle's biological daughter received preferential treatment, including access to a proper bathroom and meals from fast-food restaurants like KFC and Popeyes. The children reported often going to bed hungry, receiving only ramen noodles or school leftovers. They also faced bullying at school due to their hygiene issues, with some children using perfume to mask odors. Rolle's alleged neglect extended to physical abuse, including slaps and derogatory language. Despite her claims of regular bathing and care, the children described a locked bathroom door that restricted their access. Rolle has since posted bond and is awaiting legal representation.
