\n

A Florida couple was charged with aggravated manslaughter<\/a> for allegedly severely abusing their special-needs toddler in a “bone chilling” child abuse case, police say.<\/p>\n

According to the Polk County Sheriff\u2019s Office, crews with Bartow Fire Rescue received a call from 24-year-old Takesha Williams at 3 p.m. on May 12. The young mother told phone operators that her toddler’s pulse oximeter\u00a0wasn’t working properly, but it was not an emergency.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, when emergency responders<\/a> arrived, they say they found a 3-year-old boy without a pulse hooked to a ventilator breathing machine. The child was taken to an area hospital where he died, police said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Detectives observed that the 3-year-old boy had suffered from severe injuries including a severely bloated belly which “appeared to have semi-marbling and was green,” the affidavit states<\/a>.<\/p>\n

They added there were numerous open sores and several abrasions on the child\u2019s back consistent with bed sores, and he smelled of decomposition.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This child was rotting in the bed,” Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said in a press conference.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to detectives, the child abuse began years prior when the child had suffered from a near drowning incident while at a vacation home in Davenport, Florida<\/a> in the summer of 2020. Since then, detectives say the toddler has been connected to a ventilator due to the near drowning incident.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A free home health nurse had been assisting the child, but switched companies about two months ago and hadn\u2019t been back to the home, police said.<\/p>\n

At the press conference, Sheriff Judd said that when police interviewed the home health company they said that the parents, Williams\u00a0and 25-year-old Efrem Allen, Jr., began rejecting care last October. Sheriff Judd said the couple would not answer the door or would not be home when the nurse arrived.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The nurse with the home health company told police that both parents were taught how to remove and clean their young son’s trach.<\/p>\n

When interviewed by police, Williams and Allen told investigators that they had noticed that their son’s stomach<\/a> was bloated and that he was cold to the touch.<\/p>\n

Police said that Williams waited hours before calling 911 despite being aware his pulse oximeter was malfunctioning, police said.<\/p>\n

“They just got tired of him,” Judd added. “They got tired of the intensive care this child needed and as a result, this child laid there and suffered and suffered and suffered until finally there was no life left.”<\/p>\n

The medical examiner said the toddler has sepsis, pneumonia and stage 5 ulcers.<\/p>\n

The couple was arrested on May 13 for negligent child abuse causing great harm and those charges were upgraded to aggravated manslaughter<\/a> on May 26.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve seen some truly horrific events in my long law enforcement career, but I have never, ever seen anything as sad, as bone-chilling, and as sickening as what this baby suffered before finally perishing from the despicable acts of these two criminals,” Sheriff Judd said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
