Boy Dies of Cancer After Begging Parents to Take Him to a Hospital
Ohio Parents Indicted on Neglect, Involuntary Manslaughter Charges After Son Dies

March 16, 2009 —

An 8-year-old Ohio boy's pleas to get him to a doctor were ignored by
his parents just days before he died of cancer, investigators tell
ABCNews.com.

"Willie Robinson, in the last couple of days of his life, asked his
parents to take him to a hospital and would say things like 'mommy, it
hurts,'" said Ohio's Cuyahoga County prosecutor Bill Mason.

"They didn't take him," said Mason, citing police reports that are not
public record in the state of Ohio until after an investigation is complete.

Willie died after collapsing at his parents' home in Cleveland March 22,
2008.
[...]

Cuyahoga County coroner Frank Miller said that he ruled the death a
homicide because it was so clear to him that the child had received no
medical care before his death, despite obvious signs he was in grave
condition.
