Investigators arrested Erin Markes after her child was taken to the hospital. The child was severely under weight and dehydrated. Markes' and her lawyer say the child suffers from a brain disorder called lissen-cephaly that causes dramatic weight loss.
Florida Assistant State Attorney Anne Patterson confirms to News 5 tonight that the state has decided to stop pursuing criminal charges against Erin Markes.
The child is still in state custody. A hearing to determine custody is scheduled in the near future.

That is an excellent Idea Mremann83,try to learn all or most the facts involved before throwing any stones. So has the child gained any weight since being in state custody? Is the child in better or worse condition now than before? Is the young mother capable of taking care of the child? Help us out here Mremann83 to better understand the situation with the child. The needs of the child must come before any other considerations, such as is the mother a bad mother ? If you have any information you would like to share, please do, I would like to hear it. I know this seems to be a lot of people sticking their noses where they don’t belong but when it comes to a child , you have got to err on the side of safety for the child. I don’t know if the mother is a good mother or not but I would like to base my opinion on good information. I would appreciate any correct information you might have.
