Sullivan County deputies say a Blountville Bitch is charged with aggravated child neglect after her 8-year-old son was admitted to the hospital weighing 27 pounds.
According to a news release from the Sullivan County Sheriff's Office, the investigation began in November when detectives learned the boy was diagnosed with severe malnourishment and dehydration after he was admitted to a hospital. The investigation led to the indictment of Leah Kraus, 29, on four counts of aggravated child neglect, the release said.
The Tennessee Department of Children's Services has taken custody of the child, the release said, and his health has improved.
