A one-year-old child has died in Douglasville, Georgia, after being left without adequate food or care, leading to criminal charges against the mother. Per People Magazine, Sherry Magby, 37, was charged with six counts of second-degree cruelty to children following the death of her child. The details surrounding this incident are incredibly difficult to process, as reports indicate the children were left to fend for themselves in an environment that lacked basic necessities.
According to the arrest warrant, the children were left alone for 12 hours without access to food or suitable living conditions. It’s reported that the children, including the one-year-old who passed away, had to resort to eating ants and cockroaches to survive. This level of neglect is just heartbreaking. The warrant further noted that police discovered the home had a strong, foul odor that was consistent with extremely unsanitary living conditions.
