VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) The Vancouver, Washington, Police Department is investigating the death of a teen last November after court records show he died a week after child welfare authorities received a report from a family member that he was not being fed.
A state worker visited the home of Felicia Adams, 52, and Jesse Franks, 56, the day after receiving the report to check on Karreon Walker-Franks, 15, and his two younger brothers, The Oregonian/OregonLive reported Wednesday.
Adams’ sister Letricia Brown told child welfare authorities that Adams had withheld food from the children for years and that the teen previously collapsed from malnourishment.
