"This case was horrific, and we pray for the victim's continued healing and progress," said District Attorney Brooke Jenkins. The situation highlights the severe consequences of neglect in medical care.
The jury found the girl's 29-year-old mother 'was aware of her daughter's injuries and did nothing to help her,' emphasizing the mother's conscious neglect that led to the toddler's suffering.
Medical professionals determined the girl's burn wounds were seven to 10 days old, with some injuries having converted from second- to third-degree burns, showcasing the ramifications of delayed treatment.
The toddler's injuries were so severe that she required multiple surgeries, skin grafts, and extended hospitalization due to the delay in receiving necessary medical attention.
