HARDWICK, Vt. (AP) — In a story Oct. 7 about the death of a child who was given alcohol through an IV tube, The Associated Press, relying on information provided by the Vermont State Police, misspelled the last name of a man charged in the boy’s death. He is Walter Richters, not Walter Richter III.

A corrected version of the story is below:

Mom, boyfriend held in boy’s alcohol-related death

Vermont mother, boyfriend charged in death of her disabled 13-year-old son; alcohol in IV tube

HARDWICK, Vt. (AP) — A woman and her boyfriend who police said put alcohol in her disabled 13-year-old son’s IV tube, killing him, were charged on Tuesday with murder.

Melissa Robitille and Walter Richters were charged with second-degree murder in the death of Isaac Robitille. Melissa Robitille called police on Aug. 22 to report he was dead.

Isaac was born with significant medical conditions and multiple disabilities that required the assistance of caretakers, feeding tubes and intravenous tubes, police said.

Robitille and Richters, both 38 years old, were charged with using the IV tube to administer alcohol to the boy, leading to his death. An autopsy by the state medical examiner’s office found his blood alcohol content was 0.146 percent, about twice the legal limit for driving.

Isaac’s health conditions included a brain abnormality that was listed as the cause of death with the alcohol listed as a contributing factor.

It could not immediately be learned if Robitille and Richters had lawyers. A phone message left at a listing for Robitille was not immediately returned, and there was no listing for Richters in the small town of Hardwick.

Vermont State Police said Robitille and Richters were in custody but had not been processed in the court system as of Tuesday evening.
