18-month-old boy who died in care of Alabama foster parents was ‘skin and bones,’ sheriff says

Blount County Sheriff Mark Moon said the death of an 18-month-old foster child and the investigation that followed has been devastating. “This is a heartbreaking case where everyone who was involved in any way, whether it be the initial report, the further investigation, the medical staff…we were all touched tragically by this case,’’ Moon said. “This precious child was a victim and had been treated in a way that no human should be treated.”
