The 4-year-old managed to get out and ran to a neighbor for help.

When officers arrived, they found the parents asleep.

Police say the room where they found the 2 remaining girls was covered in feces and urine.

They believe the girls were locked inside the room for about a day.

All three are now in foster care.

The mother of the children has previously faced child neglect charges in 2005 when her 22-month-old twin boys were found wandering around a junkyard, station WJLA reported.

It is not clear if Moore still has custody of the boys.
