Grandmother, aunt charged in child's starvation death
http://www.clarionledger.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=200881113021
This baby was 4 years old and weighed 19 pounds! Bless his little heart, his short time here on earth was horrible! Taken away from his drug addicted Mother and placed with these heartless cowards. His Daddy is in jail.

An autopsy showed Austin James Watkins, who was buried Thursday, weighed only 19 pounds when he died Sunday, Sheriff Mike Lee said.
"When you take a look at pictures of the Holocaust where the Jews had been starved by the Nazis ... this is what this child looked like," Lee said.
Questions mounting in boy's starvation

In October, administrators at the boy's school noticed he looked unhealthy, Lee said.
The child's grandmother, who had custody by then, pulled him and another sibling from the school after administrators began asking questions, Lee added.
Midway Odom Head Start owner Mabel Odom, who runs the boy's former school, would not comment. "I don't want to get involved in this," she said:furious:
