The trial against the parents who allegedly neglected and starved a teenage boy has begun in Washington. The 15-year-old victim lost 50 pounds in one year during COVID.
The trial has started for parents accused of starving a boy to death nearly three years ago in Washington state. Prosecutors in opening statements this week said 15-year-old Karreon Franks weighed 61 pounds when he died from starvation and neglect, The Columbian reported. Felicia Adams, 54, and Jesse Franks, 58, are charged with domestic violence, homicide by abuse and second-degree murder in Karreon’s death in November 2020.
Child Protective Services workers and law enforcement responded to the family’s residence after Karreon died and took his brothers into protective custody. Podhora said their weights rebounded quickly afterward. The couple was arrested months later and extradited from San Joaquin County, California, on fugitive from justice warrants issued by Clark County.
Podhora said evidence will show Karreon had previously been growing and maintaining a healthy weight. He was last seen by a medical provider in July 2019 and weighed 115 pounds, the prosecutor said. Karreon’s teachers at Evergreen Public Schools described him as active with a vibrant spirit, Podhora said. But he said things took a sharp turn when his school switched to virtual learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.
