Incubator Charged in Death of Diabetic Daughter
Mom gets 16 years in prison for letting dead diabetic daughter eat sweets, failing to manage child's disease Georgia Jones, who confessed to feeding Chasity Butler, 9, sweets, also let her manage her own glucose readings and insulin injections. By Lee Moran / NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Wednesday, March 20, 2013, 10:49 AM Georgia Jones, 31, has been sentenced to 16 years in prison for neglecting her nine-year-old daughter Chasity Butler, leading to her death from complications of her Type I diabetes in May, 2011. A Texas mom was jailed for the death of her diabetic daughter after failing to control her condition by letting her eat sugar-filled sweet treats. Georgia Jones, 31, will spend the next 16 years locked up after confessing to feeding Chasity Butler, who was just nine, foods that were high in glucose. She also left Chasity — who died on her mom's bed in May 2008 next to a bag of candy and a half-eaten cupcake — to take her own blood-glucose-level readings and insulin injections. |

Re: Incubator Charged in Death of Diabetic Daughter
I'd say possible, but, I know of insulin dependant children giving themselves needles by 10 or so. As usual, the child probably took too much time and money away from the incubator. By 16, she should have been able to control her illness had she been coached properly, barring any mental issues or other serious medical issues. |
