A Missouri child reportedly suffered for more than a year with a painful and worsening infection while his parents allegedly failed to seek medical treatment.

Authorities say the situation was discovered in mid-October 2025, after school officials noticed large sores on the boy’s body. The child was eventually taken to a local clinic, where medical staff immediately became concerned about the severity of his condition. The sores were reportedly large, painful, and made it difficult for him to sit.

While at the clinic, the staff requested a urine sample from the child. According to investigators, his father, who brought him in, allegedly disposed of the sample before it could be tested. Police say he later admitted he was afraid of what the test might reveal and worried about possible consequences for the family. He reportedly suggested there were concerns involving drugs, alcohol, or other substances.

Three former York County Corrections Officers are facing criminal charges after a grand jury believed sufficient evidence was found showing that they accepted money from a jailed prisoner in exchange for smuggling contraband into the York County Jail.

According to information released by the York County Sheriff’s Office, the investigation began earlier this year after the department received tips that multiple corrections officers had taken payments from an inmate. Investigators alleged that the officers agreed to bring the requested items into the jail in exchange for cash. Authorities say the alleged plan was uncovered and stopped before any contraband actually made it inside the facility.

The three accused officers had each worked at the jail for roughly a year and a half. During the course of the investigation, all three resigned from their positions. The sheriff’s department confirmed that no arrests or court summonses had been issued at the time of the press release, but emphasized that the indictments themselves reflect that the evidence supports criminal charges.
