RIP in heaven.
女婴死亡时仅重11磅。这对费城夫妇一个30岁，一个27岁。家里还有9，8，7和3岁四个
孩子。
Girl, 3, starved to death, weighed 11 pounds, police say; parents charged
(CNN) -- A Philadelphia couple were charged Tuesday in the starvation death
of their 3-year-old daughter, who weighed only 11 pounds, according to
police.
"I saw the photos, they were extremely disturbing," Philadelphia Police
Homicide Capt. James Clark said of the girl at a news conference Monday.
Carlos Rivera, 30, and Carmen Ramirez, 27, brought their unresponsive
daughter, Nathlayz Rivera, to Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia early
Monday morning, where the child was pronounced dead at 1:59 a.m., according
to Officer Jillian Russell.
Rivera and Ramirez were arraigned Tuesday afternoon on charges of third-
degree murder, involuntary manslaughter, and conspiracy and endangering the
welfare of a child, according to Philadelphia District Attorney's Office
spokeswoman Tasha Jamerson. Both parents are being held without bail, and
their next court date is scheduled for September 25, Jamerson said.
According to officials at the Criminal Justice Information Center in
Philadelphia, Rivera and Ramirez do not have legal representation and it's
unclear when they will.
Four other children -- ages 9, 8, 7 and Nathlayz's 3-year-old twin -- lived
at the couple's residence. The children were taken to a local hospital where
they were examined and then transported to the Philadelphia Department of
Human Services on Monday, Russell said.
The mother told detectives that Nathlayz had Down syndrome, police told CNN
affiliate WPVI.
According to Dr. Nicole Avena, a weight loss specialist at the New York
Obesity Research Center, a typical weight range for a 3-year-old girl of
average height is between 30 and 35 pounds. But it is not unusual for a
child with disabilities to have feeding difficulties, which can lead to
weight loss if not appropriately handled by a pediatrician, Avena said.
The Philadelphia Medical Examiner's Office declined to comment due to the
active police investigation. |
