Michigan Parents Charged with Murder Over 7-Year-Old Son Who Weighed 255 Pounds

A Michigan couple, Damien and Jessica O’Brien, have been charged with second-degree murder and second-degree child abuse in the death of their seven-year-old son, Casper O’Brien, who weighed about 255 pounds (4'2.5”). Authorities say he suffered serious harm and lived in an unsafe, cramped home, lacking regular medical care; he was found in a makeshift bed shared by four family members. An autopsy cited a diet of chips and fries and noted Casper hadn’t seen a pediatrician since early 2024. A second child in the home, a five-year-old girl who is also morbidly obese, was found in troubling conditions. If convicted, the O’Briens could face life in prison.

Virginia Judge Dismisses Neglect Charges in 6-Year-Old Classroom Shooting

A Virginia judge dismissed eight felony counts of child neglect against Ebony Parker, the former Richneck Elementary assistant principal, ruling her actions surrounding the January 2023 shooting of teacher Abby Zwerner were not a crime. Prosecutors argued Parker ignored warnings that a gun might be in a 6-year-old's backpack, but the defense contended she was not neglectful and Parker was not called to testify as the trial progressed. The case followed Zwerner’s severe injuries, a separate civil verdict awarding her $10 million, and Parker is no longer employed at the school.
