HOUSTON (AP) — A woman charged in connection with the death of her 8-year-old son, whose skeletal remains decomposed for months inside a Houston-area apartment with three surviving but abandoned siblings, continued to receive government assistance on his behalf even after he was allegedly beaten to death by her boyfriend, a prosecutor said Friday.
Gloria Y. Williams, 35, remains jailed after being charged with felony injury to a child by omission, injury to a child (causing serious bodily injury) and tampering with evidence (human corpse). Her boyfriend, Brian W. Coulter, 31, has been charged with murder and also remains jailed.
During a court hearing Friday, Andrea Beall, a prosecutor with the Harris County District Attorney’s Office, said Williams “abandoned her three (surviving) children” and her actions showed that she was “failing her primary duties” as a mother.
Beall said Williams had been receiving about $2,000 a month in government assistance for three of her children, including for 8-year-old Kendrick Lee. After Kendrick was killed, Williams continued receiving assistance on his behalf, Beall said. Authorities have said that two of Williams’ children might be on the autism spectrum.
Authorities allege Coulter beat Kendrick to death in front of two of the child’s siblings sometime around Thanksgiving last year. Kendrick’s three surviving brothers, ages 7, 10 and 15, were left to fend for themselves in the apartment that had no furniture and became infested with roaches and flies after Williams and Coulter moved out in March, authorities allege.
Beall said Friday that Williams and Coulter moved to another apartment that was furnished and that Williams acknowledged to investigators that she moved out so she could keep her son’s body hidden.
The surviving siblings lived with Kendrick’s remains until the 15-year-old called deputies last month.

You don’t need to look.
But her hair really clashes with the orange jumpsuit.
Disgusting.
Going for the “Flintstones” look.

this piece of poop should be sterilized.
And they still probably get better treatment than Jan. 6th political prisoners.
If non persons of color are routinely castigated for cultural appropriation then isn’t she taking from Jean Harlow, Mae West and Marilyn Monroe? Or is that her natural hair color?/S
Seriously, selfish types think they can just act on any angry impulse that comes through their brains. Some have low levels of monoamine oxidase A in their brains. Mostly males but not just males have this problem. “.... less able to control their impulses than their peers, causing aggressive or violent outbursts.”
After the LBJ Dems’ Great Society (1964——) funding of single woman households destroyed the father-present families in black neighborhoods, the children with “mom’s boyfriend” hanging around became at risk. Marrying a man lost government money so why bother?
This was absolutely disgusting!
I cannot imagine such horror for kids.
I do wonder: with a 15 (maybe 14?) yo brother, wouldn’t he go out and about and look for help alot sooner?
How do people get this way?
It’s learned behavior; they weren’t born that way.
I wondered the same thing. Maybe his mother and her boyfriend threatened him to not snitch, or the same thing might happen to him.
“New Deal”, “Great Society”, and “ObummerCare” continue to run and wreak destructive behavior and societal destruction on America. The children are too often the victims.
Yes this. Taught by abusive or neglectful parents (often just one parent or gaurdian). Then likely happening over multiple generations. Sometimes I wish sterilization could be justified, but with our ruling party, you know they would find a way to push that on conservatives.
Too bad we can’r brew 10% of Colt 45 Malt Liquor with sterilization qualities in them, and feed them to... never mind, that wouldn’t legally work.
Or, they were so abused and neglected that they have no idea what is “out there” and how to interact.

1. Terrified the living siblings may end up separated.
2. Threatened by the man who killed the younger brother.... the old “even jail I can get you killed, kid,” threat..... would probably work.
3. Or threatened by the man who killed the younger brother that one of the younger siblings might be killed.....
I am grateful the young boy/man reached a point of asking for help. It was a heavy weight on his shoulders.....
One article said the kids were enrolled in school, but who knows when they were forced to stay home. They all were starving and probably frightened. Good thing the teenage boy finally called police.
