The uncle of a seven-year-old boy who weighed just seven pounds when he died has been arrested in connection with the horrifying case of child cruelty.

Deonte Atwell starved to death and his bones were protruding through gaping holes in his skin when he was found on Christmas Day last year, prosecutors said.
