Michael Foster

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — A Fort Worth man has been sentenced to life imprisonment for nearly starving his infant son to death in 2007.

Michael Anthony Foster had been convicted and sentenced to 50 years in prison in 2009 for nearly starving his son, Euphrates, to death in 2007. However, an appeals court overturned that conviction after Foster argued that he was denied the right to defend himself.

State District Judge George Gallagher sentenced Foster on Wednesday after a Tarrant County jury convicted him of causing serious bodily injury to a child —

[...]
A statement from the Tarrant County District Attorney's Office says Foster must serve 30 years in prison before becoming eligible for parole.

Michael Anthony Foster, 41, was convicted for causing serious bodily injury to a child on Wednesday. He must serve at least 30 years in prison before he's eligible for parole.

"This was an incredibly emotional and moving situation for everyone involved," said Kevin Boneberg, assistant district attorney for Tarrant County. "Euphrate's condition was grave and though he was rescued by one person, it was really the combined effort of the entire child abuse community and his new parents who saved his life."

Euphrates and his three siblings were taken by Child Protective Services after a friend of Foster's wife called police to report the 7-month-old's condition. Weighing 8.3 pounds, Euphrates was days away from death, prosecutors say.
Euphrates has since been adopted and is in excellent condition, according to the DA's office.

This is a very unorthodox manner in which to solve the nation's childhood obesity problem.

I hereby appoint, Michael Foster to be Chairman of the Committee to Combat Childhood Obesity, granting all the rights, privileges and honours appertaining thereto.

He will die of a heroin overdose before his twenty-third birthday.

8 lbs?? Holy Toledo, I cannot imagine that. My fat little 6 month old weighs over 19 pounds! :( I'm glad the little guy is doing better now.

Who would get close enough to Crazy Eyes here to procreate with him?!

Pete baits everyone, lol! He's whorish like that.

Where was this kid's mother? The mother's friend reported the baby's condition, but where was mom?

That's what I want to know.
She certainly wasn't slipping Euphrates food when his POS father wasn't around. If she was doing nothing while the baby starved she's guilty too.

Both my son and daughter weighed more than 8 lbs at birth. Holy crap.

Anyone who deliberately denies a child food, clothes and a safe and loving environment shouldn't just be punished. He should not be allowed to breathe for another second. The only good thing about this story is that, for this one, we're not reading of a dead baby.

There are times when I'd seriously love to have a couple of private moments with these assholes. I'd like to introduce them to my sledge hammer. Up-close and personal.
