Ind. Infant Was Allegedly Starved to Death by Parents Who Said They Forgot to Feed Him
During the interview, Monroe allegedly told police that she had fed the baby earlier, but an autopsy found no formula or milk in the baby's stomach. She then allegedly admitted that she sometimes forgot to feed her son if he was quiet, or if she was busy taking care of her other children.
The affidavit alleges that DCS previously investigated Monroe because of an incident with another child. She was required to keep a feeding log for that child.
During a police interview with Scott, he allegedly admitted the baby didn't eat if he didn't cry. He also couldn't recall if Silas had been fed the day of his death.
