This Boy Was Being Starved To Death And His Teachers May Go To Jail. Here"s Why.

%On August 11 last summer, a 12-year-old boy was found near railroad tracks in Galien Township, Michigan, a day after he was reported missing. He weighed only 47 pounds. After being taken to a doctor because of his shocking condition, he was found to be dehydrated and bruised, with all his ribs showing. He had a cut lip and even had old cigarette burns on his body. His father and stepmother were the ones responsible for his condition, but prosecutors say that four staff members at the boy"s school are also to blame because they failed to report child abuse for up to two years.
Aaron and Alicia Zemke were charged with child abuse, torture, and other felony charges before they pleaded no contest to first-degree child abuse. They were both sentenced to 20 to 80 years in prison. The child told authorities that they wouldn"t let him eat, and that he ran away because he “was tired of being treated like a dog and he didn’t think he would reach his 13th birthday.” ..
