Would this, could this happen to a mother?

Was Mr. McCormick discriminated against? Would this, could this happen to a mother?

Toddler in state custody after father dies in homeless shelter

Associated Press

PADUCAH, Ky. - A 14-month-old boy was hospitalized after going unattended in his crib for as much as a day after his father died at a western Kentucky homeless shelter, officials said.

The boy was dehydrated, but otherwise OK after being taken to an emergency room in Paducah on Thursday, McCracken County Coroner Dan Sims said.

The boy’s father, Charles McCormick, was found at the River City Mission on Thursday afternoon. Sims said McCormick appeared to have died from a gastrointestinal hemorrhage within 24 hours of being found. No autopsy will be conducted.

The Kentucky Department for Children and Family Services took custody of the child.

Bryan Partain, director of operations for the shelter, said McCormick moved in about two months ago after he was separated from his wife. McCormick had sole custody of his son, and the mother had no visitation rights, he said.
