Mom sentenced to 9 years in teen’s malnutrition death

May 18, 2012

Angela Norman was sentenced in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court in Dayton, Ohio on Thursday for her 14 year old daughter’s death. Angela pleaded guilty to a first degree felony count of involuntary manslaughter and felony counts of endangering children. On March 1st, 2011 Makayla Norman died from nutritional and medical neglect complicated by her chronic condition. She had cerebral palsy and weighted 28 pounds when she died. She had numerous bed sores and showed other signs of neglect.

County prosecutor Mat Heck Jr. said that girl’s home was vile and filthy. The 43 year old mother didn’t provide sufficient food or proper care for the child, resulting in the child’s death. “Makayla was unable to care for herself and was totally dependent upon others to provide for her well-being and ensure her health and safety,” he said. The misdemeanor count of endangering children involved another daughter as well, said the prosecutor.

Three nurses who also are facing charges in this case have pleaded not guilty and are waiting trial. Mollie E. Parsons of Dayton was charged with involuntary manslaughter. Failing to provide for a functionally impaired person and tampering with records. Kathryn Williams of Eaglewood and Mary K. Kilby of Miamisburg both were charged with failing to provide for a functionally impaired person and failing to report child abuse or neglect.
