The 17-year-old mother of abused twin babies has been arrested along with their father and legal guardian following the death of one of them from starvation.
Camden County prosecutors said that the twin 2-month-old girls were severely starved and had fractured ribs when they were rushed to the hospital on July 8, 2019.
One of the girls was found unresponsive at the Clementon apartment where the family lived and didn’t make it to the hospital, while the other survived her injuries, extremely underweight.
Joy Wilson, 36, the legal guardian of the girls, their father Sharode Snell, 22, and their minor mom were arrested last week hiding in North Carolina.
Among the charges, the trio faces are second-degree manslaughter, second-degree endangering the welfare of a child, and second-degree aggravated assault.
The surviving girl is “thriving and safe”, according to Acting Camden County prosecutor Jill Mayer.
