Children Ate Walls To Stay Alive

Parents in Philadelphia are facing criminal charges after allegedly starving their four adoptive sons while keeping their sisters well-fed.One of the boys, a 19-year-old, was so malnourished he was the size of the average six-year-old.The boy, Bruce, was 4ft tall and weighed less than three stone when police took him from the family home in New Jersey.

He was in a serious condition in a cardiac unit on Tuesday.

The three others "seem to be doing well," Camden County Prosecutor Vincent Sarubbi said.

The boys' adoptive parents, Vanessa Jackson, 48, and Raymond Jackson, 50, were arrested on Friday and held on four counts of aggravated assault and 14 counts of endangering the health of a minor.

Police went to the Jacksons' home in Collingswood after being alerted by neighbours who saw Bruce scavenging in their rubbish bins in the early hours of the morning.

Investigators said Bruce and the three other boys - aged 14, 10 and nine - had been locked out of the family kitchen and fed a diet of pancake batter, peanut butter and breakfast cereal.

Their hunger forced them to chew on chipboard and insulating material in a vain effort to supplement their diet.

"This is the most horrible case we have ever encountered in our child abuse unit," Sarubbi said.

Ten managers and supervisors have been suspended from the New Jersey Youth and Family Services division over the case.

One case worker reportedly visited the family 38 times and may face criminal charges.

The department was already under scrutiny after the decomposing body of a seven-year-old was discovered with his two starving brothers in January in Newark.

well, if a 19 year old's growth was so stunted that he looked 6 chances are he wasn't all of a sudden neglected.

Philly is my home town

Maybe Im ignorant, or maybe its because its 6:44AM and I've been working the last 3 hours, but wtf is "three stone" in terms of weight? Is it a philly thing? Is that why I dont get it?

Sarah_Jayne · 10-29-2003, 04:49 AM

stone is the way weight is measured in the UK. There is 14 pounds to each stone. So, someone who weighs three stone weighs 42 pounds

fucked up,like an X-files episode

myjah · 10-29-2003, 05:17 AM

unbelievable. were the social workers in on it too? if so, why? what possible reason could they have - those children were depending on them for proper placement with a loving family. This shit makes me mad.

That is fucking insane

nofx · 10-29-2003, 05:48 AM

people like this dont deserve to be parents, they should be shot in the fucking heads, burned at the stake, or die some other horrid gruesome death.

OldJeff · 10-29-2003, 06:22 AM

I think that getting a diet of pancake batter, peanut butter and breakfast cereal, In the same quantities they gave the kids for the next 20 years or so might be a good start.

But not in the good old US of A

These worthless fucking wastes of good oxygen will be given well balanced meals, cable tv, high speed internet access, full work out facilities, all in an effort to rehabilitate these shit piles.

Put a fucking bullet in their heads, same me the fucking tax dollars

If he was kept weak and malnourished for years, what could he really have done?
