Tortured to death by mother and grandmother suspected of killing 16-year-old autistic boy

In New York, a 36-year-old mother and her 62-year-old grandmother have been arrested and charged with the murder of a 16-year-old autistic boy who died due to severe neglect and starvation. The case was initiated four months ago after the hospital reported suspicious circumstances surrounding the teenager’s death. Upon admission, doctors noticed signs of extreme malnutrition, and forensic medicine officially classified his death as a homicide. Investigators conducted an extensive inquiry, leading to the recent arrest of both suspects early in the morning. Details reveal the shocking level of neglect, as the teenager weighed just 27 kilograms at the time of his death. His twin brother was also in similarly poor health but was rescued by medical professionals in time. American media obtained and published photos of the dilapidated apartment in the Bronx where the boys lived, showing severe filth, waste, scattered toys, and completely dirty floorboards, further confirming the inhumane conditions they endured.

Bias read (Progressive): The article focuses on a criminal case involving neglect and potential murder of a vulnerable individual, which is inherently a matter of public concern and justice. The framing emphasizes systemic failure and inhumane living conditions, using strong language like 'inhumane conditions' and 'severe忽视
