Georgia Father and Auntie charged with murder after 4 yr old girl dies of alcohol poisoning


Once again we have another example of the horrible parenting crisis we have in this country that nobody wants to call out.

We’re all so afraid of offending somebody that we don’t have the freaking courage to say out loud that we have a huge problem.

The Daily Mail reports that a girl's father and aunt are charged with murder. Doctors say she died of 'extreme alcohol poisoning.

Authorities in Georgia said the toddler died from 'extreme' alcohol poisoning.

Her father and aunt were arrested and charged with murder after shocked doctors revealed the girl's cause of death.
Details of how much the girl drank have not yet been r
eleased by police in Alpharetta, Georgia.

They were alerted when the girl, who has not been named, was rushed to hospital after collapsing at her home at Planters Ridge condominiums.
She was airlifted to a hospital in Atlanta.

But tragically doctors were unable to revive her.

An autopsy revealed that alcohol poisoning was the cause of death.
The victim's father and aunt were both charged with felony cruelty to children and felony murder.

Four other children at the house were taken into care by social workers.
Officers swarmed around the apartment block where their Haitian family lived.


The Fulton County District Attorney's Office, which is helping with the investigation, was interviewing family members.
The little girl's uncle told CBS in Atlanta that she was 'a sweetheart'.
'It's terrible. We are hurting,' he said.

'She was very joyous. She showed love to everybody and she was very well-spoken.'

The uncle said the little girl's father loved her and said the death was an accident.

'It's terrible, man, because she is young and she didn't know the effects of certain things,' he said.

'I don't know if she got her hands somehow on something and drank it, it's just tragic.'

'It's never easy for us to investigate something like this,' Alpharetta police spokeswoman Jennifer Howard told local media.

'We all care about children. This is the hardest type of case to investigate.'
