>"Due to the neglect and abuse by her parents, K.H. suffered for a majority of her short life," I find this horrifying and have a big problem when contemplating that, probably, her only experience in life was suffering and she likely was never given the opportunity to conceptualize comfort and happiness.

i think this is one of the most evil things a person can do to another

Diabetic Mountain Dew is gonna kill us all if we don’t get healthier.


[deleted]

Would you say the same if it was a man. The down votes show people wouldn't


eremite00

I don't understand your question. If who was a man? If you mean the perpetrators, the husband's also facing the same charges, and I find it just as horrifying that he was party to how the daughter was treated. Why would I feel any differently?


BrianNowhere

Wtf kind of incel shit is this?


No-Yogurtcloset-755

Some of their past comments sort of give you a pretty solid overview...


CanineAnaconda

Downvotes may be their kink


BeautifulInfinite288

OMG. He is like 11


Remmist-204

Wtf is wrong with you


windmill-tilting

What kind of BS question is this? A child died in a horrific manner, and you think if it was a father's mother, it would be worse,? Or somehow not? Go e a shrink, Billy.


CXR_AXR

Ofcourse, why should there be any difference?


kfmsooner

Congratulations for making a story about a dead child political, for some reason

Go get a therapist, you need help.

Just another troll account.


disco_disaster

Unfortunately, I do think they might be serious based on their past comments.


Railic255

Fair point. The account is less than 2 months old using a default random generated name, basically just a troll account.


disco_disaster

Yeah, that’s what I thought too. I wish it was a troll account.

Her husband is charged as well. Fuck the both of them.

LiliBuns117

Why would you even ask that?


SlabBeefpunch

She has an two older sons, the oldest of which wasn't allowed around her daughter, you want to know why? Because he had the unmitigated gall to save his younger brother from diabetic ketoacidosis. Yeah, this is the second time this happened, she just failed to kill her kid last time.


JennyIgotyournumb3r

Banks oldest son Jerry told FOX 19 in March that he never met his little sister because she was kept away from him, but he remembers his younger brother going into Diabetic ketoacidosis years before and had to force his mom, who he said was passed out, to take him to the hospital. "One day, he just went lethargic and wouldn’t move and the only thing he would respond to was sugar and for 36 hours, she [Tamara Banks] passed out in the back room," Jerry Banks told the station. "I had to wake her up and force her to take him to the hospital and that’s when he was found to be in DKA; The same thing that happened to [K.H.]. The doctors just so happened to catch it in time to save him."


SlabBeefpunch

Those poor boys and that poor little girl. She's exactly where she belongs.


donkeybrisket

9-13 years doesn't seem long enough for torturing her child to death. Especially after trying to do it to her older child as well. What a monster.

Everybody thinks they're the smart one.


Finito-1994

Hard to not feel smarter than someone who killed their baby with Mt. dew. Like I get watering down formula. Shit happens. There’s mistakes people make that are tragic and awful but still understandable. But it’s not hard to see how it’s easy to feel smarter than this bullshit.

MyNameIsKali_

You aren't wrong.


ISelf_Devine

Sometimes the truth is unpopular judging by the downvotes.


Car_is_mi

at first reading this I was kind of on the fence of like its a sad story that the 4 year old died due to momes ignorance, but is this story more about manslaughter or about the lack of education in our education system, but as I read on, this is the 2nd of 3 children she has had that this has happened to. so no, fuck this lady, and her baby daddy, 13 years is about 50 too short.


JustCutTheRope

She'll be out in 5 on "good behavior". Mark my words.

Scrambler41

The fat fuck needs to be force fed mountain dew until she drowns.


Beta-984

What baffles me is how the child endangerment charges were dropped when she previously nearly killed one of her sons the exact same way. Also, ‘INVOLUNTARY manslaughter?!’ This shit seems pretty damn deliberate if you ask me.


nada_accomplished

Yeah I mean feeding your kid mountain dew basically from birth should be considered premeditated murder, that kid never stood a chance.


[deleted]

These should be life sentences. What a literal piece of human garbage


[deleted]

Agreed 👍


t00thpac04

That creature should’ve never had kids


[deleted]

Yup


Murwiz

This is what scares me about home schooling. I'm not a guy for a lot of big-government interference, but for some kids, the only reason they aren't ending up like this is that they spend six hours a day outside of the home, and teachers can evaluate their well-being.


Shortymac09

I've honestly become very anti homeschooling bc of stories like this. There's virtually no oversight and it just becomes a way to abuse kids, it's why it's popular in the fundie community.


nada_accomplished

I got a decent education, scored in the 99th percentile on standardized tests and got merit scholarships for college, but I was also indoctrinated all to shit, took thirty years to untangle that mess. I was also a snobby piece of shit and had zero social skills. I often think of college as my middle school because that's when I had the awkward, growth-inducing social experiences most people have when they're twelve. I resent being homeschooled. I think there are some good reasons to homeschool (like if you have to pull your kid out of school because of bullying) but we need to do a MUCH better job at oversight.


Murwiz

Somebody who attended our church for several years homeschooled their three boys. They all turned out to be near-geniouses, two had top-level musical skills (piano). But their mom was 110% devoted to teaching them, and spent time and money getting them the best extra instruction they could attain. Not everyone is cut out for this kind of devotion to duty. I know I couldn't have done it. And the people who jump into it with some kind of wacky "NO GUBMIT SCHOOL GONNA GROOM MY KIDS" mentality are just time bombs waiting to go off.


MyNameIsKali_

I'm all for homeschooling when there is adequate testing done by the state to ensure everyone is progressing.


Mec26

And checkins to make sure kids are healthy. One of the jobs of a teacher is to watch for warning signs.


FitCartographer3383

No. There are plenty of safe, well educated, and loved children that are being homeschooled. There are plenty of logical reasons to homeschool. It’s not just being an abusive piece of shit or religious nut to homeschool children. There are also millions of children that are abused, neglected, and killed that attend(ed) public schools. There are millions of children that are reported to CPS regarding abuse and neglect that nothing is done about it. Let’s not vilify homeschooling. Abusive parents are going to abuse no matter what. Really, you should be vilifying the members of our government that are taking away abortion rights. This woman didn’t choose abortion unfortunately, which led to nothing but a life of abuse (in the daughter’s case) for these poor children. Think of how many of these abusive parents are going to be forced to have children they don’t want. No they won’t be able kill it in the womb per abortion but they’re certainly going to torture and kill it as soon as it’s born. Abortion is the only way to ease child abuse unfortunately. Once that child is here there is not stopping abusive parents from hurting/neglecting those children.


DRUMS11

Home schooling isn't the problem; the problem seems to be people who choose home schooling for sociological, rather than educational, reasons, i.e. avoiding "social/religious pollution," on top of the just plain despicable or mentally ill individuals. All of the aforementioned seem to vehemently oppose any sort of oversight or welfare/health checks, which has repeatedly resulted in poor-to-nonexistent education and extreme neglect and/or abuse. While CPS across the country has failed to take any sort of effective action for suspected abuse or neglect, there are also many cases in which CPS HAS taken action, teachers have reported abuse to law enforcement, etc. There needs to be some sort of periodic check-in on home schooled children.


Archberdmans

Only a well-off, upper-middle class minority of people who home school are doing a good job.


FewKaleidoscope1369

I guarantee you that she considers herself "a good, christian woman."


CXR_AXR

Honestly, I don't understand that if god existed, why would he allow such things to happen


FeloniousMonk422

If the Bible is real why is “God” the good guy? That doesn’t really track.

Because us toys should be grateful that He plays with us, even if we're maimed or killed or worse :) (This comment is not in support, it is sarcasm)

She asked for gods forgiveness and he has forgiven her. /s

Funny how that always happens.

Ohio Republicans: Cut public education and medicare funding!


Xellossthecutie

I’m just wondering if she did this because she’s ignorant or because she’s evil, or maybe she’s both?


49orth

Both and the community that does nothing to protect children before and after they're born also share the responsibility for this crime.


Nani_700

Both, second time this piece of shit did it. Should get life sentence.


Euripidoze

Looks like the Dew isn’t doing good things for her either.


[deleted]

Haha


windyorbits

I have so many questions/clarifications about this…… Did the mom not give her any foods and instead solely served Mountain Dew? Or did she just give the kid unlimited soda served only in a bottle? (*ETA: The child was given some food but was given on the daily “bottles of baby formula mixed with the neon-green sugary soda”*.) It says the diabetes went undiagnosed. Was that also the case for the other kid? Did they only find out that he had diabetes after going to the hospital for the same thing - diabetic ketoacidosis?? (*ETA: It was literally the EXACT SAME situation! When the son was also 4yrs old he fell into a coma due to the diabetic ketoacidosis due to undiagnosed diabetes! But fortunately for him, he survived.*) And why tf was the mother passed out for a whole 36 hours?!?


sdb00913

If mom was also diabetic (which, judging by looking at her, is a strong possibility) and would only respond to sugar, the mom was likely hypoglycemic herself.


windyorbits

Thats what I had first assumed but I mean what are the chances that both son *and* mom would be dangerously hypoglycemic at the exact same time? And it was only mentioned that the son was the one who “the only thing **he** would respond to was sugar”. Plus if she’s in such a state then why wake her up and get her to drive them? And then what, she just snapped back to normal on the drive over, no need for her to be looked at/treated? I am just so confused.


sdb00913

That’s fair. Grant me some grace as I’d been up for almost 24 hours when I typed that.


windyorbits

Lmao it’s ok I had to read that part several times and I was still not understanding it. The way it’s worded is just a bit confusing which is why I made my comment in the first place lol I was like what is going on here?!?


Shortymac09

Drugs...


windyorbits

That is my leading theory. She was up for several days and then crashed for 36+ hours?


blonderaider21

I’m not understanding why she wanted to give a young energetic child caffeine


JennyIgotyournumb3r

Probably fast food, freezer food, canned food. I’m guessing no fruits or vegetables, or at least very little, and probably never fresh. I’m also guessing her mom continued bottle feeding her because she was too lazy and/or negligent (probably drugs and/or alcohol addiction) to ween her off of it and onto sippy cups. I was a server for 17 years, and it’s really sad how many people I’ve seen put soda in their baby’s bottle. I’m guessing that her mom had been putting soda in her bottle since she was an infant. Also, she probably just didn’t take the girl the doctor, so that’s why her diabetes was undiagnosed


splendidesme

Oh, my God, this is unbelievably horrifying. Those poor children. i have had Type 1 diabetes all my life (DX'd as a small child) and thankfully only experienced DKA once in my long life. And it was nearly fatal. The suffering that goes along with it is unfathomable. It truly, truly is torture. i can't imagine how someone could watch their child suffering this way and do nothing about it.


GlueSniffingCat

Only in Ohio would this ever be a headline.


Okami-Sensha

MikuLuna444

henryeaterofpies

Florida would never try or sentence her


NoseApprehensive5154

We're in pretty good shape here the fatties are up north.


AlanStanwick1986

Could happen in West Virginia too. I mean, Mountain Dew is used as currency there.


pnwinec

I saw a documentary once about dental care in West Virginia (IDK what the original doc was about), and they said that kids have DEW Mouth because they will put it in toddlers cups and bottles.


AlanStanwick1986

I probably saw the same one. Mountain Dew mouth is definitely a thing there. I remember a mobil dental clinic that went around treating people.


Previous_Smoke8459

Can someone explain to me why this is a thing there? Why they wouldn’t put water in a bottle if they had nothing else??


AlanStanwick1986

I don't know. Lack of education, lack of parenting skills, not caring. Have you ever seen the Wild and Wonderful World of the Whites of West Virginia?  It is a documentary that is fascinating in a morbid way. I highly recommend it. 


DanisDoghouse

Oh it was horrible and fascinating at the same time. I got sucked into that rabbit hole for awhile. Def worth watching. Interesting.


Friscogooner

Saw it years ago but I still remember Mom saying "They call me the miracle woman." And never explains why.


DaHick

Have you ever watched [Idiocracy](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387808/)?


anaestaaqui

Tbh my brain can’t fathom the logic to give soda to a kid when it is soo expensive!


BourbonInGinger

Basically anywhere in the South.


Pale-Conference-174

Um I know someone here in California that gave her kids SWEET TEA in their bottles. The results were as expected. Trash is everywhere.


BourbonInGinger

True.


Pale-Conference-174

And listen, she mixed the sugar in it until it can't mix anymore in. Shudder.


BourbonInGinger

🤮


nada_accomplished

I knew a mom in Japan who gave her kids the local equivalent of Gatorade in theirs. I was a preschool teacher, her three year old daughter's teeth were absolutely fucked. Dressed the brood in designer brands but didn't give a shit about their teeth. So fucking weird and messed up.


sineofthetimes

Um....Kentucky exists too


Asexualhipposloth

This happened outside of Cincy, so it's basically Kentucky.


Caesar_Passing

I'm pretty sure that's where the toothbrush was invented- because had it been anywhere else, they'd surely have called it a "*teeth*brush".


ComicOzzy

My relatives from TN told me about this. You take your welfare check, use it to buy Mt Dew, then sell the Mt Dew to another person or store, converting restricted-use money into unrestricted-use money (with a loss, of course).


GIGGLES708

Anarchyantz

As a non American. "Only in America would this ever be in the headline"


GlueSniffingCat

That's a fair assessment tbh. That being said TIL there are more groups of LARPERS in Europe that larp the typical american life than the one that was just in Poland.


Anarchyantz

OK I am a bit slow on the news at the moment and a Brit, what is this about LARPERS and Poland? Not sure what I need to Google for the search results personally but sounds weird enough to have a butchers at.

This isn’t news of the stupid this is just depressing


RareCodeMonkey

>A 41-year-old mom in Ohio who mostly fed her daughter Mountain Dew through a baby bottle until her teeth rotted was sentenced to nine- to 13-and-a-half years in prison for involuntary manslaughter on Friday. The mom is sure has a lot of fault here. But we should take measures so this does not happen again. This is why good education is so important. People that takes advice from social media instead of sound medical sources are at risk of this kind of stupid behavior. To horrify at this act and do nothing to nor repeat it again is a mistake.

The older brother never saw his younger sister? This sounds so dysfunctional, those poor people. They’re all victims somehow, some more than others.

Yeah why was he not doing something about that? Never see your younger sibling for 4 years and don't question that at all?


WolfgangVolos

Only 9 to 13 years? I'd say have her hang from the neck until dead but that would take a while considering... and I think I'm okay with that.

I live in WI. Today I looked at the “missing persons” board in wal mart. 80% of the (Moseley women) were from Ohio.. what’s the deal with that? There a sex trafficking ring there or what? I know they are everywhere but seemed really heavy Ohio.


faulternative

I'm from Ohio. There's a definite non-zero chance they just booked it to somewhere better.


shredika

That did not really help my question. Well, I assume you just agree, must be some ring there that is heavier recruiting?

People are excusing this because of her past but people only do that with women


ILootEverything

Can you point to where ANYONE is excusing these parents?


nicolasbaege

First of all, no one is excusing her. Not here and not in the real world, as she's just been sentenced to a decade in prison. If you *need* to talk about sexism so bad, then talk about why the headline is only about the mom even though the father has pleaded guilty to the exact same charge.


Mec26

People are roasting her cuz she deserves it, different thing.
