Maybe the temperature dropped steeply during the night, maybe the heat went off during the night? Something happened to put that boy at risk, and sad as it may be to say, the parents should have been more alert.

I edited my previous comment, but apparently Mom didn't check on him until 2pm Tuesday. Neglect.

2 p.m.?????

What mother would not check a child who sleeps that long? Most children never sleep past 8 a.m. Something's not right here. If I were that mother, I'd keep my mouth shut for fear of CPS taking the other kids away.

2:30, actually. And the boy slept w/ the 3 year old sibling (who is fine). ...Parents didn't even sleep with the three year old???

'Cristian was still responsive when his stepfather, Manuel Moreno, woke up in the middle of the night to check on him, his aunt Jaliza Yera told KTRK. "He made sure they were okay," Yera said. "They were still breathing. He covered them up, patted them and went back to sleep. " '

Supposedly step-dad checked on them in the middle of the night. They were 'still breathing'? Very weird thing to say.

The perfectly fine 3 year old brother who was sleeping right next to him means something other than hypothermia was going on with the 11 year old. I have trouble believing that a confirmed primary cause of death has been established this fast. If something else went wrong (seizure, asthma attack, etc) the hypothermia may have been the result of losing consciousness, not the cause.

Yes, it sounds strange. But maybe English is her 2nd language and it sounds different in Spanish.
