Mother’s Drunken Neglect Leaves Baby with Severe Injuries
Miller had ordered alcohol while she was supposed to be watching the baby. At first, she said the baby got hurt from falling but the severe bruising and Miller’s drunken state made investigators doubt her story. Miller admitted she had low tolerance for alcohol because she had not been drinking much recently which made the situation worse. Due to these details and the charges against Miller have been upgraded to include first-degree child abuse, second-degree child abuse, felony murder, and second-degree murder.
Miller’s sister has publicly criticized her calling her “narcissistic” and “evil,” and is hoping that Miller gets the harshest possible punishment. This case has received a lot of attention showing the severe impact of Miller’s alleged neglect and drinking on the young baby’s life.
