FULL TITLE:

Infant girl dies of starvation after her parents replaced her formula with water and cereal to save money

A suburban Chicago couple was accused Friday of the unthinkable – starving their infant daughter to death.

Markisha Jones, 19, and Gene Edwards, 22, both of Barrington, were initially arrested January 8 after paramedics called to their home found their seven month-old daughter Mya dead on the dining room table.

They were found to have replaced the child's precious baby formula with water, cereal and the occasional glob of baby food, sources told the Chicago Tribune.

Human waste. Flush ‘em. They’d better serve humanity as fertilizer.

I guess there wasn’t enough money after smokes and crack. Great parenting, you feral losers.

When my granddaughter was a baby my son in law flew the coop for greener pastures. My daughter was breast feeding but the stress dried her up. I bought the formula to help her out...it was outrageously expensive, but I bought enough for the whole month and then some each month. I had a hard time finding enough of the brand we used on the shelves, store clerks and managers thought I was nuts to buy it all at once. I knew if worst came to worst the baby was eating! I cannot wrap my head around people like this!

We have a 4 year old and 2 year old. Mom and I made the decision to buy in bulk, in advance, at least 6 month of formula. We actually bought more than that. We got hit HARD in the wallet, but we knew in a crisis our children would eat, and when they moved to solid foods, the churches, disaster recovery assistance teams, and the needy really appreciated our New-In-Box excess formula!

Yeah, but that shouldn’t have to be used for baby formula./sarc

The feral population is large. If you recall there was a house fire that killed two children and during the interview with the aunt she was quite cheery but upset that she couldn’t get in to the house to get her food stamps from her purse.
