Mom of dead, 15 lb child force-fed her sleeping pills: source

Once again the system failed. The weakest in society should be the first to be protected. That isn't the case in America. This so-called parent should have been watched much earlier which should have lead to the removal of this child from the killer-mom's custody. Now it's too late.

Children should examined regularly to detect malnutrition and other forms of abuse before a child dies or is seriously abused.
