The Madison Police Department is investigating after two young children were found wandering around an apartment complex on the city's west side.

Officers were dispatched to the 1100 block of Morraine View Dr. around 7:20 p.m. on Thursday.

The children were not dressed appropriately for the weather. They were able to help officers find their apartment.

No adults were home.

Officers noticed feces, urine, soiled diapers and trash spread across the unit's floor. The children also did not have easy access to food or water.

Child Protective Services responded and took custody of the children.
