“If you could see photos of her, like feces had been rubbed all over her, it would just make your stomach turn,” Colbert County Sheriff Eric Balentine told our news partners. “She had a disability and had not been to a doctor in years.”

Balentine said an autopsy report from the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences was sent to his office Friday. The report indicated the death was a homicide due to neglect. Arrest warrants were received that afternoon.

Cause of Death: The official cause of death was listed as arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy and bronchopneumonia, with medical neglect cited as a significant contributory factor.

Interestingly Emma did not look disable as a baby or younger child... As a teen she looked profoundly disabled.

This is a case where a group home would have been safer and more humane.

I can say and mean I hate people who treat disabled youngsters or teens like animals or undeserving of love or dignity.
