Pennsylvania mother facing multiple charges after 16-year-old weighs in at 26 pounds

CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. (WHTM) – Elizabet Estrada of Chambersburg is facing multiple charges after her 16-year-old son went to the doctor and weighed 26 pounds.

Court documents show the teen weighed 22 pounds when he was three years old, and just 26 pounds at age 16. Investigators say in all the years in between, the child had no doctor appointments or medical care.

“The family lives internally amongst each other,” said Det. Sgt. Jon Greenawalt of the Chambersburg Police Department. “The mother and four children … by the mother’s statements, they don’t have a lot of contact outside the home. They were schooled at home through the mother.”

Northwest Woodsman: That Auschwitz diet works wonders every time. The Keto diet can’t compare.

In 13 years only 4 pounds gained, this woman is horrible, just horrible. Poor kid, starving him to death.

There are others to be held accountable here. The mother is the primary culprit and should be starved until she is in the same state as this child.

I bet she really taught them a lot by home schooling them. Apparently she doesn't have enough sense to poor pi$$ out of a boot with instructions on the heel.
