I've been following this for quite a while. I'll post Brandon's case here, too; as well as following them through the court system.
LEBANON, Indiana — The parents of a man with disabilities were charged with neglect after he was rushed to the hospital and found covered with sores and his own waste.
Lloyd Maxwell and Bridget Toney were caring for their 23-year-old son, Brandon, who has spina bifida.
Officers found Brandon had numerous open sores on his lower body and was covered in feces. Police noted some of the sores were deep enough they could see the bone. They also noted bugs and maggots on his body.
One of the doctors caring for Brandon noted that there were mouse droppings found in some of Brandon's wounds.
At first, doctors considered a radical amputation from Brandon's belly button down. Medical staff said Brandon had the social skills of a 10- to 12-year-old and did not have the capacity to make complex medical decisions.
