Heartfelt Thank you to M. Richards for sponsoring Maxwell's memorial
12 yr old Maxwell Schollenberger, never received medical care, wasn't enrolled in school and was rarely seen even by his siblings, who lived in the same house.
There were no lights in the boy's room and the window shades were closed with duct tape so the child had no access to sunlight or even a view of the outside world.
The only furniture in the room was the soiled bed, they said. There wasn't a single toy, and they said every piece of clothing they found was covered in feces. A cup near the bed held just an inch of water.
Detectives said the boy was "very thin" and his stomach was bloated. Later investigation showed he weighed only 47 ½ pounds, about half the average weight for a boy of his age and was 8 inches shorter than the norm. There were indications that he would have been too weak to stand or walk.
"This tiny 12-year-old boy never knew the unconditional love from a family," Graf said during a press conference on the homicide charges filed against Scott Schollenberger, 42 and Maurer 35. "Max Schollenberger existed," she said. "I will not call this living. He existed in a state of perpetual suffering."
