A Jourdanton woman accused of withholding food, water and medical care from her 4-year-old stepson, who a Bexar County medical examiner said starved to death in 2021, is going on trial. A Bexar County jury was being selected Monday afternoon to hear the case involving Miranda Casarez , 25, who is one of two co-defendants charged with injury to a child causing serious bodily injury by omission in the starvation death of Benjamin Cervera , 4.
Additional videos showed Benjamin being forced to eat bread crumbs from a bathroom floor, and begging for water after he was made to drink hand sanitizer, according to the court document. Police discovered Benjamin had other siblings in the apartment but did not state how many. “Several concerning observations” were noted by detectives searching the apartment, the affidavit stated. They found locks on the refrigerator, kitchen cabinets, pantry door, and on Benjamin’s bedroom, to keep him inside.
