Bodycam: Starved Child Found With Broken Arms, Maggots

Police bodycam footage captures a heartbreaking scene that left even seasoned officers shaken. Responding to a welfare check, officers entered a home to discover a severely malnourished child — weak, injured, and living in unimaginable conditions.

According to investigators, the child was found with multiple untreated fractures and visible signs of neglect, including infections and maggots in open wounds. Medical teams rushed the victim to the hospital, where doctors confirmed signs of long-term abuse and starvation.

The parents were immediately taken into custody and now face numerous felony charges, including child abuse and endangerment. Authorities described the case as one of the most disturbing they’ve ever seen, calling it a tragic reminder that speaking up about suspected abuse can save a life.
