Parents arrested for alleged child neglect
HIALEAH, Fla. (WSVN) -- A mother and father are under arrest after police say their 2-year-old was living in filth.
Hialeah Police said the 2-year-old was not alert and not breathing when police found the child in room 19 of the motel, which was extremely unsanitary. Investigators added that fecal matter was discovered throughout the room, along with overflowing trash bags and a dead animal.
According to detectives, the child was malnourished and only weighed 15 pounds. There was also feces embedded in the child's skin, and the child had toenails that looked like they had never been cut.

NEGLECT??? I believe this is ABUSE! This poor child. I heard this last night on the 11 o'clock news. I haven't heard any updates about the little boy.
The article alsy says that parents had moved down the hall into a different room but the little boy was left to stay in that nasty room.
I still don't understand how this is neglect and NOT abuse!
