The child, who had severe disabilities including spina bifida, club feet, and hydrocephalus, was found in an upstairs bedroom. The court in Montana was told the boy's body was lying on a pile of laundry and trash next to a mattress, covered with a sweatshirt that Boyer claimed belonged to her. The room was noted to be filthy and cold, with an air conditioning unit running despite the outside temperature being around 44C.

And Boyer, it is alleged, told police she stopped checking on him several times a day to deliver food and water — which she would leave on the floor so he could "army crawl" to it — confirming that she "stopped giving him water sometime in September" and "didn’t know the last time she actually remembers [her son] eating."

claiming to be "overwhelmed " with caring for her ill father, the mother says she simply "stopped checking on" her disabled son who was locked on a padded bedroom and could not walk. She simply stopped providing food and water, which she used to set inside the door so he cuold "army crawl" over to fetch. Are you kidding me??! Starving to death is just so horrific. and she had 3 other children in that home per the below link.
