14 years in prison, that’s the sentence that a 36-year-old mother from Indiana got after co-sleeping with her infant daughter, 4-month-old Celina, under the influence of drugs resulted in the child’s passing.
Tricia Cavanaugh pleaded guilty to neglect of a dependent resulting in serious bodily injury, which is classified as a Level 3 felony.
The tragic incident occurred on June 9, 2016, when officers responded to a call at Cavanaugh’s home on Glenwood Avenue in Muncie, Indiana. They found her crying hysterically and attempting to perform CPR on her unconscious child.
