Kelli Bryant allegedly called her children's caregiver ten times from the county jail over a period of five days to talk to her children.

Just as a judge feared, the Pontiac mother accused of abandoning her children in a house of squalor for years called the kids' caregiver from jail, and had other inmates call the caretaker on her behalf, according to the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office.

If Karen McDonald's motion is granted, it would prohibit Bryant from using a tablet, telephone and video communication devices while in jail.
