Between Feb. 1 and June 25, the couple allegedly “purposefully and with forethought” deprived the baby of nutrition, according to Canton Municipal Court records.
Singleton was also accused of leaving the 11-month-old in Rush’s custody, which violated a Child Protective Services agreement.
Court documents also stated that two loaded firearms were “within easy access to children” in Rush’s home.
