SAN BENITO, Texas (TCD) -- Deputies arrested a mother last week after her child allegedly broke into a home and stole food this month.
On June 8, deputies from the Cameron County Sheriff’s Office responded to a home on Petras Road to perform a welfare check on an 8-year-old juvenile. At the scene, the complainants told the Sheriff’s Office the unknown child went into the home, "opened the refrigerator, and started eating their food."
When the complainants saw the child, he reportedly had food in his hands and told them he was "hungry."
According to the Sheriff’s Office, the complainants said the child was "skinny," and he "seemed very weak and malnourished."
