A grandmother who had custody of her two young grandchildren is facing charges after she was accused of physically and emotionally abusing them in multiple ways.

In 2022, a 32-year-old man with two children was shot and killed. According to reports, the youngsters’ mother was unable to properly care for them, so they went to live with their paternal grandmother at her apartment in Warr Acres, Oklahoma. While some of the neighbors reported that the kids appeared happy, someone notified the authorities last March and told them they suspected they were being abused.

A social worker from the Oklahoma Department of Health and Human Services (DHS), accompanied by law enforcement from the Warr Acres Police Department, visited the residence to conduct an investigation. The 8-year-old girl reportedly told the social worker that their grandmother regularly abuses her and her 10-year-old brother, and that the woman both uses and sells narcotics. The child added that she locks them in a cage when she goes out, and it was reported that the boy said the woman gives him pills beforehand.

A woman from Voss, Texas, has been arrested in Tarrant County on allegations of abusing her 7-year-old granddaughter, whom she had been caring for since the girl was an infant.

According to reports, the child was hospitalized at Cook Children’s Medical Center in Fort Worth in August 2023. She was reportedly suffering from severe dehydration, vomiting, and diarrhea. When she was checked, medical staff found ulcers in her gastrointestinal tract in addition to damage to her intestines and colon. They were unable to diagnose a specific medical condition based on the youngster’s symptoms. As part of her treatment, doctors used a gastric feeding tube to give her medication.

During the medical interventions, the child’s condition got better and then worsened, but the doctors could not find a reason. In January 2024, family members became concerned and suspected the grandmother could be harming the child. They reported their concerns, and the grandmother was told she could no longer stay at the hospital because she was not the youngster’s legal guardian. According to the doctors, the child’s health improved significantly after her grandmother left. It was reported that the authorities believe the child’s grandmother may have been poisoning her by putting Mean Green Degreaser cleaner in her feeding tube.
