STRUTHERS – Residents and family members gathered in the first block of Creed Street to mark one year since Teddy Foltz of Struthers died due to injuries sustained from child abuse inflicted by his mother’s boyfriend.
Supporters released brightly colored balloons outside the home where Teddy lived with his twin brothers, his mother, Shane Widdersheim and her boyfriend, Zaryl Bush.
According to reports, Bush repeatedly tortured and beat Teddy, and the ongoing abuse included punching him, slamming his head into the wall, making him walk on hot coals and forcing him to stand outside in the cold until his feet had frostbite.
