Kosciusko County Prosecutor Dan Hampton has filed charges of felony child neglect against a Fort Wayne woman accused of withholding insulin for her diabetic child. The child slipped into a diabetic coma and was not expected to survive.
Kosciusko County Sheriff?s Department Detective J.D. Ayres conducted the investigation after an initial contact was made to Fort Wayne authorities by Lutheran Hospital on April 20 regarding a small child in critical condition. The child?s mother, Mary Gene Markley, 27, told investigators she checked her son?s insulin levels three times a day using an Accu Check Aviva meter. When officers checked the meters, which contain computer records of when they are used, they found it has not been used since April 16.
