Mother sentenced for daughter’s death

In a tragic case, a 36-year-old mother from Sugar Land, Khierra Sada Walker, will spend 50 years in prison for the death of her 12-year-old daughter. Walker was sentenced after pleading guilty to injury to a child by omission causing serious bodily injury. The authorities were alerted when they found the non-responsive 12-year-old girl with severe burns on her body. Walker, the child’s mother, claimed she tried to treat the burns with home remedies and over-the-counter items, but the child passed away. The autopsy revealed that the girl had suffered third-degree burns and could have survived if she had received proper medical care.
