The child's mother, Ma Dana Martinez, 30, of the 8300 block of Fountain, is charged with felony murder, accused of failing to provide adequate nutrition and hydration to her son, who was blind.
The steel yard worker, also known as Maria Dana Martinez... has three other children, all found to be in good condition... "It appeared this child was singled out due to some type of illness and was allowed to die," Moreno said...
The child — born Oct. 14, 1997 — was sickly and had lost his eyesight years ago while still living in Mexico, his father said. He had two vertical scars on his abdomen and a surgical scar on the right side of his neck. The boy's mother confirmed one of the abdominal scars was from a feeding tube.
