Should charge anyone that had contact with this kid with something as well. Teachers, family, etc. And investigate how the fuck we live in a society that allows this to happen. This didn’t happen overnight. This child was being abused for 7 years if they were that heavy. Or they had some Medical condition that wasn’t being addressed.
The kid being abused is a failure of the parents. The kid dying is a failure of our society.
Yes, but that’s still a failure of society. A 7 year old is legally required to be in school and any exception to that (homeschooling, medical) would also require a physical interaction and evaluation of the child’s conditions. The state either completely abandoned this child; or individuals meant to ensure the safety of children ignored their responsibilities. They need to be held accountable as well. You don’t “miss” the abuse of a 255 lb 7 year old, a 180 lb 5 year old, etc.
Hoarders, famously, aren’t moving around avoiding law enforcement. They have an address, they pay taxes and claim dependents for tax breaks so they can hoard more stuff. We as a society failed this 7 year old.

They had no contacts; the family were hoarders, they didn’t allow the children to attend school. They’re literally monsters.
