A nurse reported possible child neglect to police, saying the child was significantly malnourished and too weak to lift himself up or speak.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The boy had a core body temperature of 80 degrees and weighed only 47 pounds. LPD said the average 12-year-old boy weighs about 90 pounds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">He was airlifted to Children\u2019s Hospital in Omaha and was determined to be in septic shock with pneumonia. LPD said additional symptoms and injuries led investigators to believe he had been neglected, starved and tortured for several months.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The boy was not expected to live more than a few days. As of Thursday, he remained in critical but stable condition in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">As of Jan. 19, the child is in state custody.
