The father of the deceased boy reported the death of his 15-year-old son at Reedsburg Police station on Sunday and when police arrived at the couple’s home, they found another extremely malnourished 11-year-old boy.

Although the mother was emaciated too, she rejected medical treatment, citing religious reasons. She is currently at Sauk County Jail as police took the 11-year old boy to Children’s Hospital in Madison.

Reedsburg Police revealed that Kehinde Omosebi who told investigators his family started a religious fast on the 19th of July 2018 said he was a minister affiliated with Cornerstone Reformation Ministries.
