MaInutrition Case
Report Says Mother
Was Not Neg|ectfu|

The Prince Georges County Board
of Public Welfare declared today
that the mother of two Huntsville
MD children who this week were
found suffering from malnutrition
had given them better than-aver-
age" care.
In a report made public as the
State of Maryland launched it's own
investigation of the case, the welfare
authorities told the Prince Georges
commissioners that the mother, Miss
Clara Hunt, had not been neglectful
The children, Lawrence E. Hunt
II, and Marie Louise Hunt, 6, were
taken to the Prince Georges County
General Hospital Tuesday after the
mother summoned the Bladensburg
Rescue Squad.
Born With Cerebral Palsy.
Hospital authorities said they suf-
fered from malnutrition and that
both had been born with cerebral
palsy. The children's conditions
were described as poor.
The Maryland investigation was
ordered by Gov. Lane, who asserted
serious dereliction of duty is in
volved somewhere along the line"
The welfare report, signed by Miss
E. Susan Hendricks, director, tended
to support the stand of DR.. A. K
Besley, superintendent of the Prince
Georges Hospital. who said the
Maryland welfare system makes nc
provision for institutional care OF
such cases.
The county welfare report also
deplored newspaper publicity giver
the family when the children were
taken to the hospital.
Miss Hendricks wrote the com
missioners that the mother first re-
ceived financial help for her children
in 1943 and that both had under
gone examinations since then at the
Wilmer Eye Clinic and the Harriet
Lane Clinic, Baltimore. The director
said Miss Hunt applied unsuccess-
fully in 1914 for institutional care
of the children.
No Facility for Children.
eve have had contact with mother
enough to have conviction about
the kind of care she gave and the
fact that she was not neglectful,' -
Miss Hendricks wrote. 1--WE .appre-
ciate all through the kind of burden
she has because there was no facility
open for the children to have care
in an institution, which they needed
and which she asked for.
I'VE believe that it is response
BILE act that she sought to place
the child (Marie) in a hospital.
1--WE are greatly concerned over
the family's having newspaper pub
licity when they had spent many
years in devoting care to help these
children. The mother did better
than average.
Our record over the years and
our recent visits to the home by the
director, case worker and public
health nurse after the publicity
broke in this situation, indicated
that this mother had given above
average care for many years.
Harry w. McNamee, president OF
the commissioners, declined to
comment on the report pending its
presentation to the full board at
its meeting Tuesday.
