The mother of a disabled seven-year-old boy is behind bars in Moncks Corner and deputies are looking for his father, after an investigation prompted by the boy’s weight.
Yolanda Pough is facing neglect charges after she brought the boy to MUSC because his feeding tube fell out.
The official report indicates, when doctors saw him, the child was severely malnourished, and weighing just 15 pounds.
Deputies later discovered that he had not received his medication for 18 months, and had not had medical care in two years.
Right now, deputies are still looking for the boy’s father. Benny Penninger will face neglect charges as soon as he is arrested.
