the details at the link are just too much. This kid had the odds stacked against him and it is heartbreaking.
Here is just a little bit:
According to Montelongo, her son had Cerebral Palsy, vision issues, he's non-verbal and required constant care. She was also supposed to give him medication through a G-tube three times a day.
Officials said the boy had muscular dystrophy. His appearance was skin and bones, his hip bone was clearly defined as if his skin was adhered directly to the bone's surface and he had open ulcers on his tailbone.
An autopsy showed the boy had 0% body fat and he only weighed 13.6 pounds.
. . . .
According to investigators, Montelongo missed five of her son's doctor's appointments since December 2022 and she noticed her son's weight loss but did not think it was a concern.
Officers also said there were reported concerns of medical neglect on at least four separate occasions with the Children, Youth and Families Department.
