A mother from Pennsylvania, Sherilyn Hawkins, pled guilty to criminal charges of neglecting her adult son, Tylim Hatchett. The father of the child, Vernon Hatchett, who was also implicated in the neglect and starvation of their son, has since gone missing and has a $7,500 bounty to his name.
According to NBC1o Philadelphia, on the morning of Sep. 18, 2024, police responded to a call in Montgomery County about a man who was unresponsive in an apartment complex in Dresher. The man was Tylim, and at the time he weighed a shocking 59 pounds — the emaciated frame certainly didn’t match what people expect from a 21-year-old man.
