VENANGO CO., Pa. (EYT) — Two Franklin residents are facing felony child endangerment charges after a young child was discovered with severely rotting teeth and medical treatment had not been provided.

Sugarcreek Borough Police say they have been working with Venango County Children and Youth Services (CYS) to investigate a child endangerment case involving a five-year-old child.

According to police, it was discovered that the child’s teeth have been rotted off at the gum lines and the child was not provided with medical or dental treatment.

Police say 36-year-old Mark Allen Rice Jr. and 29-year-old Kayla Matthews, both of Franklin, have been charged in the case.

Court documents indicate Rice was arraigned in front of Magisterial District Judge Patrick E. Lowrey at 2:07 p.m. on Friday, June 19, on one first-degree felony count of conspiracy endangering the welfare of children.

Unable to post $5,000.00 monetary bail, he was lodged in the Venango County Jail.

One first-degree felony count of conspiracy endangering the welfare of children was also filed against Matthews through Judge Lowrey’s office, and a warrant was issued for her arrest.
