Boy found starved in Pennsylvania home, authorities say

By Elizabeth Daley PITTSBURGH (Reuters) - The mother and grandparents of a Pennsylvania boy, who authorities say was starved nearly to death, are facing criminal charges, according to court documents. The 7-year-old boy weighed less than 25 pounds (11 kg) when he was found last month at a home in Greenville in western Pennsylvania by child welfare workers investigating a report of "a boy who looked like a human skeleton," according to an affidavit obtained on Monday. "He was being starved in his own home," Dr Jennifer Wolford of the University of Pittsburgh Children's Hospital Child Advocacy Center said in the affidavit.
