A couple in Georgia have been arrested for starving their ten-year-old son.
Tyler and Krista Schindley were taken into custody and are being held in jail after a judge denied them bail.
Their 10-year-old son was found searching for food in their neighbourhood, leading to his parents’ arrest.
They boy weighed just 36 pounds.
“We aren’t releasing any photos of this child for obvious reasons, but I will tell you, the photos are absolutely horrible, and anybody with a human heart who looks at them should be shaken to their core,” District Attorney Marie Broder said.
She added: “It is my true belief that had he not gotten out of the home, this case would be a very different one.”
According to an arrest affidavit, the couple purposefully denied the youngster food and allegedly kept him sequestered in his bedroom without access to lighting, toilet paper or human contact.
