School workers were worried about whether the tiny 6-year-old boy was getting enough food.
His parents allegedly restricted
his diet, possibly for religious reasons, and teachers noticed his lunch
usually was something small — such as a rice cake and applesauce.
Then a kindergarten teacher saw bruises.
That led Pierce County
prosecutors to charge the boy's 27-year-old father with second-degree
child abuse. He pleaded not guilty at arraignment Thursday, and Court
Commissioner Meagan Foley set his bail at $75,000.
