The mother and stepfather of Miranda Sipps were arrested for failing to seek medical attention for their daughter for four days, leading to her death.
A 12-year-old Texas girl died Monday after her mother and stepfather failed to seek medical attention for four days following life-threatening injuries, instead attempting to nurse her back to health with smoothies, authorities said.
Miranda Sipps, a cheerleader at Jourdanton Junior High School in Christine, Texas, was found in critical condition when her mother called 911 on Monday evening, according to a statement from the Atascosa County Sheriff’s Office. Christine is a small community about 45 miles south of San Antonio.
Emergency responders met Sipps and her mom on the highway after they had left their home, and rushed the unconscious child to the hospital, officials said. Sipps was pronounced dead in the emergency room shortly after her arrival.
According to another news source I read, the cops had been to the home before for child abuse and fighting. The mom showed zero remorse, so I’m betting she’s the abuser in the family.
Fuck me man. My kid coughs funny, and I am running through a mental list of what it could be and whether it requires a run to the doctor, not fuck it, here’s a pallet.
A fucking pallet for 4 days. Damn man.
I saw that coming from the “emergency responders met Sipps and her mom on the highway after they had left their home” line in OP’s summary.
