Father Cited In Children Neglect In Meadville
Bruce Burrows of Meadville was adjudged guilty of neglect of three small children and jailed in default of 750 bond. He may be released on 15 weekly support for two surviving children. The two younger siblings, ages two months and one year, were malnourished and hospitalized in Titusville with pneumonia and an ulcerated heel. After careful review, the judge ordered transfer to the Meadville Children's Home after discharge, while a two year old daughter was placed with her mother if a suitable home is found. Police described the home as heatless and poorly maintained. Both hospitalized children showed improvement and were reported out of danger.
