SAN ANTONIO – A San Antonio child advocacy group is stressing the importance of child abuse awareness after police saved a severely emaciated 9-year-old girl from a couple this past week.
“My 5-year-old son, who was premature and is small for his age, is 35 pounds not a 9-year-old girl,” Anderson said. “A 9-year-old girl should not be 35 pounds.”
Dr. Mandie Svatek, a pediatrician with UT Health San Antonio, agrees.
