Sentenced: Breanna Newman Charged With Neglect After Her Toddler Found "Extremely Malnourished"

[Sugar Cookie]

Bucks County Children and Youth responded to an apartment on Dec. 16 and treated a 27-month-old boy, immediately identifying him as “extremely malnourished and in what appeared to be a neglected state

”The boy’s mother, Breanna Marie Newman, was charged with endangering the welfare of a child and was sent to the Bucks County Correctional Facility under $250,000 bail, 10 percent.

After being discovered at the home, the boy was transported to St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children where a doctor who heads the child protection program confirmed the boy was severely malnourished and weighed 19 pounds, the weight of a typical nine-month-old child.

The doctor wrote in a 15-page report that the boy’s motor skills had declined, and his decline in health led to low heart rate, low respiratory rate and electrolyte disturbances. The doctor noted that Newman made decisions that were in her best interest and not her son’s and never sought out medical attention after his health had declined.

The boy has since gained 10 pounds under the hospital’s medical care.

The investigation found that Newman lived in Indiana and moved to Pennsylvania in July to live with a man she met online. The relationship ended weeks later, and she moved to Montgomery County with a new boyfriend.

In November, she and a female friend moved to Croydon, Bristol Township. The friend noticed Newman’s son had dramatically lost weight and his health had been declining. She informed Newman of a medical assistance program, but Newman refused, fearing it could lead to her losing custody of her son.

Bucks County Children and Youth later received a tip about the child’s condition and went to the home to investigate.

another that didn't miss a meal and snacks starving her little one grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.... why the heck did she keep her child if she neglects and starves him??? money and food stamps?????

Ms Newman is far more interested in finding a boyfriend than she is in taking care of her child! Don’t return the child to her, she didn’t want to take him to the Dr. thinking she might loose him, so she would then starve him to death!! Any benefits she got for the child should have to be paid back, by her to the government, she obviously didn’t use them to feed him!!

She'd rather let him starve to death than lose custody. She'd rather chase dick, move cities with different men than lose custody.

She needs to lose custody, she will kill him from neglect, tho one of her many boyfriends might help it along, too.

She did not want to lose what ever benefits that child brought into the home.
