 Georgia parents arrested after starving 10-year-old son runs away to beg for food: cops

Georgia parents were arrested for child abuse and negligence after their starving 10-year-old son was found wandering their neighborhood looking for a grocery store where he could beg for food.

Griffin Police arrested Tyler and Krista Schindley after their neighbors found their emaciated son lost in the streets on Friday, with the child begging the cops to “please not make him go back.”

They said the boy was intentionally starved and weighed only about 36 pounds when he was rescued, nearly the weight of an average 4-year-old.

“This child was, simply put, being starved to death, and it is tragic,” Griffin District Attorney Marie Broder said during a press conference Tuesday.

“I truly believe that if he had not gotten out of that home, this would be a very different case.”

The parents were accused of locking the child inside his bedroom and leaving him alone in the home for “extended periods of time, and on multiple occasions, with no access to lights, food, clothing or adult interaction and/or assistance,” according to court documents.

They also allegedly withheld hot water, views of the outside, toilet paper and human interaction from the 10-year-old, and even beat him at one point, causing further injuries.



The starving child was quickly transported to a nearby hospital, where he is being treated for malnutrition and a low heart rate.

The boy also suffered from “dental injury and disfiguration” as a result of his starvation, injuries the parents allegedly failed to treat.

“This case is just disturbing,” said Broder, who has spent the bulk of her career prosecuting child abuse suspects. “It’s heartbreaking.”


The child was allegedly kept locked inside the house, but he was able to escape.


Officials added that there were other children in the home, and they have since been placed in the custody of the state’s Department of Family and Children’s Services.

The Schindleys have been charged with criminal attempt to commit a felony, false imprisonment, two battery charges and three cruelty to children charges.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Wow.  Heartbreaking. Hopefully now the children will get the care that they need and placed in loving homes. 
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.
