(an hour ago)A young three - year - old girl lost her life in her family's home in a poor area of the state of New York, since her body was severely infected by lice to the extent that she developed anemia, it was said in court.
Joycelynn Dulawski was found struggling to breathe in an apartment in Corinth, about an hour away from Albany, on February 19, 2025, writes Daily MailKlankosova broadcast.tv.
The baby was rushed to the hospital, where she later died. Her death was classified as murder (homicide) after the legal doctor discovered shocking evidence that she had been a victim of severe and persistent neglect.
Her parents, Matthew and Samantha Dulawski, pleaded guilty to murder by criminal neglect in connection with the death of their youngest daughter, and this month were sentenced to the maximum sentence, up to four years in prison.
According to reports, Joycelyn was so deeply affected by lice that he had developed anemia - a condition that damaged his heart and other vital organs.
The doctor also found that there were traces of clonedine (Clonidine) in her organism, a medicine usually used for treating high blood pressure.
At the time of Joycelyn's death, Samantha, 33, suggested that her daughter and siblings were responsible for what happened.
According to investigators, the mother claimed that Joycelyn “opposed a lot of” when she tried to apply the treatment for lice to her skin, hinting that the blame was being attributed to her already felt daughter.
