A reader passes on this horrible report from NBC Washington:
“A 5-year-old boy who died over the weekend was found naked and unconscious in squalid conditions inside a Northwest D.C. apartment, according to court documents.
Police and paramedics were called to a third-floor apartment at Connecticut Avenue and Albemarle Street before 10 a.m. Sunday. Paramedics tried to revive the boy, but he was pronounced dead at the scene…
The little boy attended Murch Elementary School in Northwest.
So far, the medical examiner has ruled the child’s death as undetermined.
Pettus is charged with cruelty to children. He was released Monday on personal recognizance and ordered to stay away from children.
Prosecutors with the U.S. Attorney’s Office did not ask for a hold or GPS monitoring.”
