ROMULUS, Mich. (AP) — Police say an 8-year-old boy spent more than a week in a Michigan apartment with the body of his dead mother before anyone discovered his situation.
Police say the woman apparently died Jan. 9 in their apartment in the Detroit suburb of Romulus, and the boy survived by himself by eating dried rice, butter and flour.
WXYZ-TV reports that no one knew about the woman's death until after the boy ventured outside on Monday to buy snacks.
Romulus police Lt. John Leacher told The Detroit News the boy attracted attention because he tried to use his mother's expired credit card. He said the boy didn't seek help because he was scared.
Police say no foul play was suspected in the woman's death.

We have had 7 years of hate by the left wingers. Please think about what you are going to say and how it might affect people before you say it. I hope this child is able to have a life after this. Where is his father?

It's probably some more of Obama's dirt poor relatives in the country illegally. The truth will be told eventually and it will more than likely be an overdose. Nobody came by for 10 days? What does THAT tell you? Shame about the kid as he will never get over this, ever..........
