Pontiac mother accused of abandoning her kids -15, 12, and 13- for years is given a $29K bond for welfare fraud.
Kelli Bryant's bond matches the $29K she allegedly stole from welfare checks meant for her kids.
She allegedly collected payments from Michigan's health department from January 2022 until her arrest in February 2025.
Bryant allegedly received $29,397 in total.
Before the welfare fraud charges, she was charged with child abuse after her kids were found living in filth, surrounded by trash and human feces.
She remains in custody on a $50,000 bond for first-degree child abuse.
