An Arizona grandmother has been indicted by a grand jury following the tragic death of her teenage granddaughter who suffered from a rare form of epilepsy and cognitive impairments. The 55-year-old grandmother, Virginia Lujan, has been charged with child abuse and other crimes after her granddaughter was found unresponsive in their Tempe townhouse.
Police discovered the girl lying on the living room floor with marks and bruising on her body. She was later pronounced dead at the hospital. Shockingly, authorities found that the victim had been kept in a makeshift enclosure created from a bunk bed, with unsanitary conditions prevalent throughout the home.
