A man and two women in Georgia were arrested last week after authorities found a 3-year-old near death from ingesting a fatal amount of fentanyl and a 1-year-old who appeared to have been burned with a grill and was drinking from a bottle filled with live maggots. Matthew Moss and Talethea Browman, the children’s parents, along with Aisha Bartley, were taken into custody on Friday and charged with a spate of felonies, jail records reviewed.
All three defendants were charged with second-degree cruelty to children. Moss, 41, and Browman, 34, were also charged with first-degree cruelty to children and deprivation of a minor, while Bartley, 31, is facing one count each for possessing synthetic narcotics, cocaine, heroin, and oxycodone. The nature of Bartley’s relationship with the other defendants was not immediately clear.
While authorities were still at the home, a sheriff’s deputy discovered a 1-year-old child who appeared to have sustained burns to his back, arms, and hands, per WSB.
“Deputies and EMS observed [the child] had visible burns on his arms and hands, as well as his back that were in a distinct pattern (Such as an iron or grill pan/grate),” police reportedly wrote.
The 1-year-old was also transported to the hospital for treatment where the medical staff reportedly found “live maggots” in the bottle from which the child had been drinking.
The home itself was reportedly in decrepit condition, with no running toilets, exposed live wires, several buckets of human waste, insect-infested food, and drug paraphernalia throughout, per the Augusta Press. Dangerous chemicals were also reportedly being stored right next to the baby formula and there were human feces and roaches throughout the home.
