Watch KUTV 2 News full coverage on the death of a West Haven boy after alleged abuse and neglect from his caretakers, who are now behind bars. The tragic case has sparked outrage in the community and calls for more oversight for children who are taken out of school by family members as well as calls for free school lunches for Utah students. Educators say perhaps if the boy had access to free school meals, he would not have been as emaciated as he was at the time of his death.
