Minnesota Couple Accused of Starving Adopted Son Nov 6th 2012, 00:48 Authorities say a Minnesota couple starved their 8-year-old adopted son so severely his bones protruded and his brain atrophied. A criminal complaint filed last week charges Mona Hauer and Russell Hauer of North Mankato with six felonies, including neglect and malicious punishment of a child. The complaint says the boy weighed less than 35 pounds when he was taken to the hospital. He allegedly was given a liquid-only diet, and an alarm was on his door so he wouldn't steal food. He told authorities he had taken rotting food from a compost site because he was hungry. The adoptive mother told authorities they put the boy on a liquid diet because he threw up his food. It's unclear if the Hauers have an attorney. Their home voicemail was full Monday.
