(Mankato, MN) -- A judge says an eight-year-old North Mankato boy allegedly starved by his parents will remain in foster care for now. Russell and Mona Hauer are charged with neglect and malicious punishment of a child. Authorities said they put an alarm on the boy's door so he would not steal food. A trial on whether to terminate the Hauers' parental rights is scheduled for January. The couple's other three children will remain with their parents.
