Bail Hearing in Starving Kids Case

Bail hearing will be held today for the Collingswood couple who allegedly starved four adopted children.

They want court permission to see the boys as they are currently forbidden from visiting the children. They are charged with aggravated assault and child endangerment.

The Jacksons claim all four boys had eating disorders. A neighbor found one boy going through the garbage looking for food and inside the house, authorities found the boys eating the paperboard from the walls. The oldest boy was 19 and weighed only 40 pounds.

Since they have been in protective custody all four boys have gained significant weight.
