[h=1]Mom, Grandparents, Nearly Starved Boy To Death: Cops[/h]
GREENVILLE, Pa. (AP) -- A 7-year-old boy was nearly starved to death, suffered regular beatings and resorted to catching insects to eat during brief times he was allowed outside, police said in charging his mother and grandparents with assault and other offenses
Child welfare workers, responding to a complaint, found the child looking like a human skeleton in home in Greenville, in western Pennsylvania, last month, The Sharon Herald reported (HTTP://BIT.LY/1MZW530 ) Saturday.

The complaint alleges that Radar took the boy out of school in August of 2013. The only time the boy was allowed of the house was to sit on the back porch, where he told investigators that he would often catch bugs and eat them.
The boy's siblings told investigators that he was only fed small portions of of tuna fish and eggs, and that he was frequently beaten with a belt. They say he was usually beaten when he would try to sneak peanut butter and bread to eat without permission.
The siblings say the only time the boy was able to bathe was when he was being punished and was drenched with ice-cold water.
