A 16-year-old girl with cerebral palsy weighed only 23lbs and could not walk or talk when she was removed from her family home after being starved by her mother. Darlene Armstrong measured just 3’10” tall when she was rushed to hospital in Chicago.

The severely disabled girl could have been rescued four months earlier if the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services had followed set procedures.

Darlene’s mother, Rosetta Harris, 50, pleaded guilty to endangering the life of a child. The mother, who had no prior criminal record, was sentenced to 18 months of probation and ordered to undergo parenting classes.
