At the time of his arrival at the hospital, the 14-year-old was 5-foot-4 and weighed roughly 92 pounds, law enforcement officials claim.

To explain the boy's weight issues, Linke allegedly said her son had a series of behavioral issues and refused to eat because he was denied junk food and soda, police say.
