A Pulaski County, Virginia man whose son was found dead in a septic tank last month has lost another bid for bond.
Paul Thomas and the children's mother, Ashley White, are accused of leaving their two children home alone March 22. White reported that their 5-year-old son, Noah Terry Thomas, went missing that day.
Noah's body was found March 26 in a septic tank near the family's home in Dublin, Virginia.
Media outlets report that a circuit court judge in Pulaski County denied bond for Thomas, 32, on Wednesday. The judge's decision came on Thomas' appeal of a bond denial by a Juvenile and Domestic Court judge.
Thomas is charged with felony child abuse and neglect. One count is related to Noah's death, and the other is linked to his infant daughter, Abigail.
White also is charged with felony child abuse and neglect. She was denied bond last week.
