San Antonio, TX: A San Antonio man was arrested after his daughter was found in a malnourished state with severe injuries.
After authorities discovered their disabled daughter in their apartment, alone and suffering from acute malnutrition and a black eye, they arrested a guy from San Antonio.
A new allegation of injury to disability has been filed against Edwin William Dones Garcia.
The victim, a Special Education student at James Madison High School, was claimed to have looked underweight and had a blocked feeding tube. As a result, the school staff became concerned and contacted Adult Protective Services. Adult Protective Services and the South African Police Department conducted follow-up welfare checks on February 15, and the results were devastating.

The victim was found alone in the apartment with an obvious damage to her eye. Garcia, who is the sole caregiver for his 20-year-old daughter who is non-verbal due to her Cerebral Palsy, was not there when the officers were able to gain entry during the second check.
Emergency medical services transported the girl to the hospital, where she was diagnosed with acute malnutrition, gastrointestinal problems, and sepsis.
Instead of explaining his daughter’s general medical negligence, Garcia later texted an Adult Protective Services official, stating that the rats in the flat were to blame for his daughter’s black eye. This is a terrible turn of events. His bond has been set at $75,000, according to court documents, and he was detained on Friday. The city’s most defenseless residents and the safeguards meant to keep them secure are under scrutiny in this disturbing instance.
