Court records say the children — ages 2, 4, and 5 — were found at Little Tallapoosa Park, where the family had been living after reportedly losing their home, WAGA reported. Another camper at the park noticed the children alone and called police after the two older children told them they had not eaten in two days.

The 2-year-old boy, who has Down syndrome, was in very poor condition, unable to hold up his head, walk, or talk.

Deputies said the children were covered in dirt and unsupervised when they arrived. The 2-year-old boy, who has Down syndrome, was in especially poor condition and unable to support his body, hold up his head, walk, or talk.

According to arrest warrants, the 2-year-old suffered brain damage due to medical neglect. Deputies also reported that the child’s seizures had gone untreated and that all three children showed signs of dental neglect. The children are now in DFCS custody.

“Deputies became concerned upon observing the 2-year-old, as he suffered from Down Syndrome and was unable to support his body, hold up his head, crawl, walk, speak or feed himself. His physical development was also comparable to a 12-month-old child.”

Someone put away the Ugly Stick.

Before leaving, Jason and Kira allegedly cut off their 2-year-old son's oxygen and feeding tube, which he needed for "brain development" and "caloric intake." The 2-year-old reportedly suffered from Down syndrome and chronic infectious disease that affected his teeth.
