A Wisconsin woman claimed that her 12-year-old son experienced rapid weight loss due to a terminal illness, but prosecutors alleged that she never fed him. According to reporting by local Fox affiliate WLUK, police began investigating Beauprey in December 2025 when her 12-year-old son died after being brought to the emergency room. According to court documents, which were read in court on Wednesday by Judge Laura Lavey, the boy weighed 80 pounds in November 2024 and dropped to 56 pounds in the year that followed. Fond du Lac County Assistant District Attorney Kristin Menzl told the court that "care [was] not being provided to the child, including a lack of food." Lavey ordered bail to be set at $500,000, and Beauprey remains in custody at Fond du Lac County Jail.
