Bond has been set for three people accused in the death of a 7-year-old boy in Manitowoc County.

Monday marked the first court appearance for all three suspects since they've been charged. Timothy Hauschultz, Tina McKeever-Hauschultz, and Timothy's 15-year-old son are all facing criminal charges in the death of 7-year-old Ethan Hauschultz.

Authorities say Timothy and Tina were Ethan's court-appointed guardians. Ethan died back in April 2018. Authorities say Timothy forced Ethan to carry a heavy log as part of a punishment. Timothy's 15-year-old son is accused of beating Ethan.

On Monday, a judge ordered $150,000 bond for Timothy's 15-year-old son, $100,000 bond for Timothy, and $75,000 bond for Tina.
