Francine Donnorummo, chief of the Special Victims Division at the Florida Attorney’s Office, said O’Leary was unable to provide her son Ezra with adequate food and health care. The woman’s lawyer tries to defend her, claiming that she did not act intentionally, that she believes she is doing something good for her baby. In addition to the woman, the child’s father, Ryan Patrick O’Leary, 33, who is believed to be an accomplice, has also been charged.
When the child fell ill, he weighed only 7 kilos, even though he was over a year old. The parents noticed that he wasn’t breathing well and called the doctors, who they admitted he had only been fed fruit and vegetables from weaning on. The autopsy confirmed that little Ezra was severely malnourished and the parents filed a complaint. The allegations of neglect also concern the couple’s other two children, aged 11 and 5, who were also found in a state of malnutrition. The final verdict will come soon for the couple
