CCG – Authorities say that a 14-year-old girl was found to be “emaciated” and in a “skeletal state,” leading them to arrest the kid’s grandparents from West Virginia. The daughter passed away last month.
According to court documents obtained by Law&Crime, Jerry Stone, 75, and Donna Stone, 76, were arrested on Monday and charged with one count each of criminal child maltreatment by a parent, guardian, or custodian resulting in death.
Family relatives have identified the victim as Kyneddi Miller, according to an NBC affiliate from Huntington, West Virginia, WSAZ. In connection with her daughter’s horrifying demise, Julie Anne Miller, Kyneddi Miller’s mother, was also charged with one count of child negligence when she was arrested last month. She is presently being jailed on a $250,000 bond at the Southwestern Regional Jail.
