Two people have been charged with child cruelty in what police have described as a "complex" case.
The 35-year-old man and 41-year-old woman were remanded in custody and were scheduled to appear at Teesside Magistrates' Court on Monday.
Cleveland Police said a third suspect had been released on bail while the investigation continued.
A heavy police presence was seen at Yarm Lane in Stockton on Friday and a force statement said officers had been working with other agencies to understand "the complex circumstances".
A spokesman said they were "confident" there was no threat or risk to the wider community.
He added: "We are no longer concerned for the welfare of anyone else connected to this investigation and have concluded the search at the property on Yarm Lane."
