DCF unaware of child abuse

The Daily News has stayed on top of the story about the 4-year-old Pace boy, reportedly suffering from a rare brain formation disorder, who came to Sacred Heart with a weight of 10 pounds, a body temperature of 91.1 degrees, low blood sugar and bed sores.

The boy’s mother, 19-year-old Erin Brittany Markes, has been jailed Friday on felony child neglect charges. Arrest report – markes.pdf
