GADSDEN COUNTY, FL (WTXL) - Gadsden deputies said they arrested a woman after they found her 17-year-old son, who investigators said weighed only 45 pounds when he was declared dead in mother's home.
The Gadsden County Sheriff's Office said that 50-year-old Sabrina Robinson was arrested on Tuesday for aggravated child neglect and manslaughter for the death of her 17-year-old son.
Deputies said they went to Robinson's home in Havana on Monday. At the home on Salem Lane before officers arrived, paramedics on the scene had already pronounced her son dead.
They said that the child was 45 pounds at the time of his death.
Further investigation revealed that the body was already beginning to break down. A early autopsy showed that the boy had suffered from severe malnutrition and injuries that matched up with their suspicions of severe neglect.
Robinson was transported to the Gadsden County Jail.
