Angela Norman, 42, is charged with two felonies and a misdemeanor in the case surrounding the death of her daughter Makayla
Also charged:Nurse Mollie Parsons treated Makayla for about 10 years before she died, Mary Kilby and Kathryn Williams were also charged with failing to report child abuse, though their connection is unclear
Four women were charged relating to the death of a 14 year old girl with cerebral palsy weighing only 28 pounds when she died of malnutrition.
Makayla Norman was brought to the hospital on March 1 but died just minutes after arriving.
Local reports say that because of Makayla's cerebral palsy, officials were unable to decide the best immediate actions in terms of the investigation. After the autopsy was completed, they focused their investigation on those four women.
The women were arrested in the months following Makayla's death but their charges were only announced today.
Police were called to the family's home in Dayton, Ohio, on March 1 before she was rushed to a local hospital.
"She was the worst malnourished child this office has ever seen," Ken Betz, director of the coroner's office, said Thursday.
She had numerous bed sores and showed other signs of neglect, and the prosecutor described the home as vile and filthy.
