JONATHAN JAMES, 10, DIES: PARENTS DENIED WATER

DEHYDRATED

KILLERS

A TWIN watched horrified as his 10-year-old brother collapsed and died in front of him because his idiot parents refused to let him drink water for five days, cops say.  
Jonathan James died from dehydration after his mom Michael Ray James and Tina Maria Alberson denied him water as punishment after he took some guitar strings from on of his siblings. 
The agony was made worse for the surviving brother, Joseph who wanted to help but was afraid he would be punished too, his grandmother Sue Shotwell told Fox 4.    
She said: "I did tell him: 'I don't want you to feel guilty because there's nothing you could do.' And he says, 'I wish I had snuck him some water.'" 
She added that were spending the summer with their biological father because of a court ordered custody arrangement but they were reluctant to go.
“I'll miss His smile, his laugh, his running in and out of the door saying, ‘Love you, Meme,’” she continued.
James and Alberson have been arrested and charged with injury to a child and face 99 years if convicted.
