Oklahoma Mom Who Forced Children To Eat Dog Poop Will Not Face Prison Time
An Oklahoma woman who starved her children and made them eat dog feces will avoid prison after pleading no contest to charges connected to the crime.
KTLA reports:
Mary Elizabeth Moore’s 5-year-old and 3-year-old children were hospitalized in the intensive care unit and were “so malnourished that hospital staff had to place them on a special diet and applied nasal feeding tubes to both children,” according to court documents obtained by KTLA sister station KFOR.
The affidavit said one of the children “had pinworms in her stool as well” and indicated she “gets spanked for hitting and laughing.”
While DHS had received “many complaints” about Moore in the past, this was the first time the sheriff’s office was alerted to the case.
Moore was ultimately charged with two counts of child neglect.
Last week, Moore pleaded no contest to the charges and was given a suspended seven-year sentence. According to online court records, Moore has been ordered to not have contact with the victims.
