The California family struggling to cope with the hazardous waste-filled junkyard next door is at its wit's end: "Stuck"

The junkyard owned by a California family is causing harm to the community, and the family is urging government officials for help.

In 2021, Elena Malone and her family bought what they believed to be their dream home in Sun Valley, but their neighbor's hoarding turned it into a hazardous nightmare, with dangerous materials, trash, melted car batteries, and stolen vehicles.

Malone, who is worried about her family fighting cancer, told "Fox & Friends First" that she is at her "limit" in dealing with the hazardous waste site.

"Malone, co-host Todd Piro, and their two young children are currently trapped on a property that has undergone cancer treatment and is contaminated with hazardous waste. Malone expressed his frustration on Thursday, stating that he would never sell the property to another family and have them deal with the same issues. He is unsure of what to do next as he cannot sell the property and cannot get the government to remove the hazardous waste."

Malone contended that officials from multiple government agencies shifted responsibility in managing the property.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California Highway Patrol (CHP) have both evaded accountability for remedying the contaminated site, as the toxic substances accumulate.

"The EPA has declared the site a hazardous waste site in 2021. The soil is contaminated, but the EPA will not clean it until CHP removes some of the 100 vehicles, five of which have been either identified as stolen or involved in crimes. However, the EPA will not go until the CHP clears. The CHP will not enter the property until they feel it's safe for officers. As a result, each agency has basically said they aren't willing to engage with this person on this property because it's not safe."

Councilwoman Monica Rodriguez' office stated that she is collaborating with city departments to promptly address the issue.

Malone expressed concern about the amount of debris on the property due to wildfires because she has been trapped by the neighbor's cars before.

David Ferrera, son of property owner Mary Ferrera, resides on the property and receives daily meals from his mother.

"Malone stated, "As parents, we all share concerns about our children, but her actions are putting the entire community at risk." He added, "This canyon has already experienced two fires this week, and it's only Monday.""

Malone's husband's cancer journey has heightened her concern to the point where she has been pushed "over the edge."

"During his treatment, Malone was doing chemo and radiation daily, and his neighbors kept the gate free. However, there was a particularly difficult day when Malone's husband was vomiting and needed her help, but the cars blocking the gate prevented her from getting to him. This was the moment when Malone felt like she had broken."

"I couldn't fathom someone not being able to see the empathy and move their car to let their neighbor get their husband and family," she said.
