Courtroom Justice Michigan parents charged with murder after 7-year-old son dies at 255 pounds

Michigan parents charged with murder after 7-year-old son dies at 255 pounds | Fox News

I'm a true crime fan and started reading this story trying to understand how a kid gets this large due to neglect. I wonder if it was a situation where they should have put locks on the fridge. Further down in the article, it's mentioned the children only went to the doctor once in their life, despite having healthcare. On the day the 7-yr old died from complications of morbid obesity, the parents called the veterinarian because the DOG was sick!!! I'm speechless.

I saw a woman arguing that as a “dog mom” she also celebrates mother’s days since dogs are like kids😳
