To punish nine-year-old Dericka Lindsay for supposedly “being out of control,” her 325-pound cousin Veronica Green Posey sat on the child.
For 10 minutes, Posey remained atop Dericka. Even after the child screamed to her nearby parents that she could not breathe, the 64-year-old woman continued to sit on the girl for another two minutes.
After Posey finally relented, Dericka was unresponsive. Posey called 911 and attempted CPR. It didn’t work. Doctors at Baptist Hospital, where the Dericka was rushed, pronounced the girl dead.
Police arrested Posey and charged her with homicide and cruelty to a child.
Officers also arrested Dericka’s mother and father, Grace Jones Smith, 69, and James Edmund Smith, 62. They’re charged with child neglect.
The Florida Department of Children and Families called the death “appalling” and reported that agency had been called to deal with the family over a prior incident, stating: “As the family has a prior interaction with the child welfare system, a thorough quality assurance review will be conducted to review all prior interactions this family has had with the child welfare system.”
Posey is free on $125,000 bond. Grace is free on $75,000 bond. James is still locked up, waiting to secure a $50,000 bond, after which he will also be free.

Did I read that right? A 9-year old girl has a 64 year old cousin? And her parents were in their late 50s when she was born? I guess she could’ve been adopted.
Christ! They’re animals.
The mother had the girl at 60?
Her rear end is a deadly weapon.
1. How does a 69 year old woman - Grace Jones Smith - have a NINE year old daughter?
2. How does a 9 year old girl have a 64 year old cousin?
In addition to the mind numbing stupidity of the 3 adult aged people in this article, that math just doesn’t work for well.
Some “adults” deserve a firing squad.
I’m guessing we don’t have the full story. Or there are some mistakes in the story.
The 11 comandment;
Thou shall not question a journalist.
I don’t question them. I just assume they are wrong.
This would make Thanksgiving dinner awkward, but it sounds like the rest of the family will be in jail.
To answer that, we'd need to consult with Dwight Latham and Moe Jaffe.
Save the ammo.
(Necklacing) flaming necklace in the town square at noon with mandatory attendance should bring a halt to stupid crimes for a while.
Looks like a great family.
Look at her face ... She’s spent her whole life feeling sorry for herself... What a loser.
Guess who paid for her to eat her way to 325 pounds?
...And eating biscuits.
