In an absolutely heart-wrenching and cruel act, a six-year-old boy named Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez, who was declared missing in March, was sold to an unknown woman in the grocery store by his mother. Reportedly, the boy’s mother, Cindy Rodriguez-Singh, allegedly referred to Noel as 'evil and possessed'. She said that the boy had a demon in him, and she feared that he may hurt her newborn twins. When she was investigated about her son’s missing, she explained that she thought he was with his biological father. Now, US media has reported that a close relative of the family has revealed that the boy was sold by her mother at the supermarket. He even revealed that the boy’s mother, Cindy, was known by relatives to be abusive and neglectful towards Noel. She used to strike the boy for drinking water because she didn’t want him to wet his diapers. She even deprived him of food and water because she disliked changing his clothes. It is pertinent to mention here that the couple - Cindy Rodriguez-Singh and her husband Arshdeep Singh - is believed to have left the country before arrest warrants for abandoning or endangering a child - a second-degree felony in the US’s Lone Star state, were issued. Cindy’s child, Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez, is missing since last year.
