A Florida husband and wife were recently arrested after their children were found "severely malnourished," Sunshine State police say.

Charmy Milfort, 34, and Gabrielle Milfort, 32, stand accused of one count each of child neglect without great bodily harm, according to Miami-Dade County court records.

The couple were arrested on Wednesday, according to the North Miami Police Department, but the charges are reportedly a long time coming.

The criminal investigation into the goings-on at the Milfort residence date back to at least June 24, according to law enforcement. On that day, the Florida Department of Children and Families took custody of the couple's 4-year-old and 7-year-old boys.

What law enforcement allegedly learned after that proved shocking.
