[QUOTE="witzend, post: 209888, member: 99"] I've seen this on tv. At best, if they didn't knowingly do this to the boy, and [i]knew[/i] he had odd eating habits, it was willful neglect to not lock up "non-food" things to protect him. As I recall, they let him be sick for a while before taking him to a hospital? They said that if "left unwatched he would forage for food and eat inappropriate items." He was a foster child, and if they couldn't watch him they should have returned him to state custody or asked for more help. Of course the infected mosquito bites and scratches and bruises don't make them look too good, either. Sorry, and I know this is my personal opinion, but mom doesn't get a pass on this. Capital murder? Maybe, under their statutes. [/QUOTE]
