Little 2 month old Quasir Alexander died of starvation and dehydration at a homeless shelter in Philadelphia.
Travelers Aid is a shelter mandated by the city. Meals are served in a communal dinning room. On December 23rd EMTs were called to the shelter. An autopsy revealed the baby died of starvation.
It's not at this link, and I'll find the other one as reported on our local news. Quasir has a twin brother and four other siblings who also were staying at the shelter with thier mother.
Basically the shelter said unless there is overt behavior they do not intervene and are not medically trained. They try to keep it as unobtrusive as possible so people are not discouraged to come into the shelter. Unless they see signs of drug abuse, domestic violence, child abuse they do not interfere.
