Anthony initially was a DCF foster parent for the boy. He began to live with her when he was 2, and Anthony adopted him when he was 3.Police did not disclose the boy's name or age, but he reportedly was born in 2004...
Amanda Grimm, the DCF investigator who worked with Kiako, reported that the boy was forced to take cold showers after he soiled himself, and that Anthony did not thoroughly address the boy's issues with his pediatrician to rule out medical problems. The boy's sister told Grimm that when he cried, his mother would sometimes put him in the basement so neighbors wouldn't hear him.
Grimm also found, according to the arrest warrant, that the boy would try to steal food from other students at school because he did not get much dinner and was not allowed to drink after a certain time in the evening.
Since the boy was removed from the home and placed in a safe house, he has been doing well and there have been only a couple instances of bed-wetting, according to the warrant.
