A Kansas couple stands accused of starving a 5-year-old boy so terribly that he weighed less than a child half his age, according to Fox 4 News Kansas City.

Authorities cited in the report said the boy, who has not been named to protect his identity, weighed just 28 pounds—a weight common for a 2-year-old child but dangerously low for a 5-year-old.
