JAY, Okla. A mother from Oklahoma was charged with neglecting a child, accused of starving her children and feeding them with dog feces.
Tulsa World reports that 34-year-old Mary Elizabeth Moore was charged in Delaware County Court this month.
The children, aged 5 and 3, suffer from severe malnutrition and have been subjected to a special diet with nasal probes. They are in custody.
An affidavit indicates that the older child told employees at the Department of Social Services that she had eaten dog feces. The officer who made the arrest found that the child had parasitic worms.
The girl also told the investigators that her mother's boyfriend "throws bottles" at her younger brother.
The affidavit says that Moore denied starving his children and feeding them a dog's droppings. His court-appointed lawyer, Lee Griffin, did not immediately respond to a phone call on Saturday to ask for comment.
