The boy saved himself. And thank God he found the right neighbor to help him.

Living in a $million dollar home and starving their kids. Lock them

To give a comparison- my 4 and a half year old is in the 50th percentile for height and weight. He’s 36.2 pounds and 35 inches tall. This 10 year old must have looked like a walking skeleton. Disgusting.

[stagename]

What really perplexes me is in most of these cases there is one child who is starved or abused and the other siblings are taken care of. I can’t even imagine

[veniagivenchy]

This really saddens me . It's so horrible . I can imagine the sadness, stress, depression, how scared the child was . Thank God he had the strength & braveness to escape & run for his freedom & life . He saved them all . I hope all those beautiful children have a long prosperous life . ♥️

The boy saved himself. The neighbor helped. The boy saved himself and the remaining siblings.

[forgiven]

I was a single mom at 20 living in a rented travel trailer and made sure my daughter was well fed. This is pure evil, the parents will get what they have coming someday.

[chermoultrie]

I'm a 35 still living after the severe starvation, physical, mental, emotional abuse from my stepmother and sexual abuse from siblings, cousins, uncles, strangers and stepmom didn't care. I am blessed to be here and raising 2 beautiful and healthy children

[DoobieDeb]

Thank God he got help and the neighbor was there awesome

[conniemartin]

What the Heck is WRONG WITH PEOPLE??!!

[elinorpowellbloom]

Please take the kids away from them. They are criminals that should be locked away for a long time. I hope there are family members that can raised them.

[cynicalaries]

This disgust me, I hope and pray these scumbags are thrown in prison for a very long time. Unbelievable, I hope they suffer in prison each and every damn day.

[edwardprice]

Let me on that jury, no plea bargain.

[rosesantiquesmore]

Omg this made me cry 😢 if you can't trust your own parents then who can you trust? Sad 💔

[Whynotcreate]

It's crazy how someone can be living a "nice life" and be abusing their kids. Why would someone do that omg

[liznel]

😢 This is sooo hard to fathom. Two parents, 5 kids… a 10-years old able to communicate dying of hunger within the walls of a very nice house. It’s not the appearance that bothers me, but a child begging for food and being starved as you pretend all is well… your child! The level of heartlessness is incomprehensible.💔

[tenacious]

Look at this home. You never know what dysfunction or evil lies behind closed doors even in the most beautiful homes

[lindaburger]

I hope he can get through this and that the parents get the max penalty. Children are precious.

[pinkchaos.]

Thousands of us have kids and have almost nothing else, but manage to take care of and love our kids even though we have pretty much nothing else. Imagine living in a million dollar home and having tons of money and everything a child could ever want, and abusing your kid. Lady was living a life millions of us will only ever dream of, and she was still too selfish and disgusting to take care of the kid she willingly brought into this world. Absolutely disgusting.

[revenge]

Dang nice home. They aren't poor . YA'LL going to jail now.
