Erica Chapman, who lives in CityParc II at West Oaks Apartments, said she was among the people who had been feeding the malnourished 15-year-old, unaware that she was living with her two younger brothers.
The first time I saw him, he was sleeping on one of the slides, Chapman told KTRK.
Law enforcement officials said neighbors gave the three children food.
Chapman said she noticed that the teens mother was rarely home. She would occasionally show up with noodles, sandwiches, and drinks. The abandoned teenager was running downstairs to collect food and then back to the apartment.

Those poor, poor children.
