Authorities Arrest Parents Of Super Malnourished Oklahoma Infant Twins For Child Abuse; Kids Looking Like Skeletons With Maggots Crawling On Skin?

Authorities have described the conditions of twin infants in Oklahoma as the worst case of child abuse. The two babies reportedly looked like skeletons, which led to the arrest and filing of charges against the parents of the children.

The twin babies, nine months old, were brought to an urgent care facility on Friday and the nurses reported to officials that they were suffering from extreme malnourishment, bed sores and other injuries. The parents were identified as 24-year-old Aislyn Miller and 25-year-old Kevin Fowler, who have been charged with child neglect, CBS reported.

According to police reports, one nurse saw a maggot crawling on one of the babies. That same baby had severe bed sores, feces in his ear and diaper rash. The other infant reportedly had an infected wound on her finger and the medical personnel said that it was due to long-term exposure to a strand of hair that was wrapped around her finger.

Officials went to the home of the couple and found two more children living with them. Owasso Deputy Chief Jason Woodruff said that the other two children were in better condition but did not provide any details about the ages or genders of the other two kids.

It was also not stated whether the children are the kids of Miller and Fowler. The house was not in good condition as Woodruff pointed out that there was a lot of clutter and animal feces were found inside the home.

Miller told officials that the two children have not been to a doctor since they were born. This is because Miller said that she had no insurance. The two have been released after posting $50,000 bond, People reported.

The twins were removed from the parents' custody. However, it was not stated if the two other children found at the home of the Oklahoma parents were also taken into protective custody.
