Mother Charged After Son Found Malnourished in PA

Breanna Marie Newman, 27, from Indiana, has been charged with felony child endangerment after her 27-month-old son was found malnourished and neglected in Bristol Township, Pennsylvania. The child, weighing only 19 pounds, suffered from severe health issues, including declining motor skills and low vital rates, but has since gained 10 pounds under hospital care. Newman reportedly refused medical assistance for fear of losing custody, despite her friend's warnings. Authorities were alerted by a tipster, leading to Newman's arrest and a $250,000 bail. She had moved several times within Pennsylvania, living with various acquaintances, before the discovery of her son's condition. The case, described as a terrible instance of abuse and neglect, is being prosecuted by the Bucks County District Attorney's Office.
