A malnourished teenager found wandering in a Florida town has died.
Chester Lee Miller died four days after authorities said his stepfather put him on a bus and told him to look for his real dad.
The 18-year-old from Pennsylvania weighed just over four stone when he died.
His mother, Lydia Miller (37) and stepfather Paul Hoffman Sr (38) have been charged with aggravated assault and recklessly endangering another person. Police chief Edward Harry says investigators plan to charge the couple with homicide.
The teenager had knocked on a stranger's door in Milton and asked if he could take a shower and rest. The woman gave him a sandwich and something to drink and phoned for help.
Janice Goodman says the boy arrived on her doorstep with sunken eyes, barely able to stand.
Investigators said he told Ms Goodman that "his parents had been very mean to him".
