She Refused To Take Care Of Her Disabled Daughter, What They Did To Her Is….

A mother has been sentenced to life behind bars for abandoning her daughter with Down’s syndrome at home while visiting a bar in Bay City, Texas, more than two years ago, according to reports.

Lauren Kay Dean, 28, pleaded guilty to the 2020 murder of her daughter Jordynn Barrera on Wednesday, October 5, 2022, and received a life sentence along with 20 years in prison for child endangerment.

Dean on January 30, 2020, allegedly left her three children at home to go to a bar called Shades to party with her friends. Jordynn, 7, who passed away due to ill care and negligence, was found dead in the house by the police while they were conducting a welfare check.

In addition to Down Syndrome, Jordynn also suffered from cerebral palsy. She was confined to a bed throughout her life, and by the time she was seven years old, she required a feeding tube and constant, around-the-clock care.

Her five and three-year-old children were meanwhile found alive at the address in the 2200 Block of Bordeaux, where Jordynn was bedridden due to medical conditions, police said.

“During the check, officers located a deceased seven-year-old female child inside the residence along with the mother of the child,” the Bay City Police Department said following the welfare check in January 2020. “The seven-year-old child was bed-ridden due to medical conditions.”

Dean was subsequently charged with murdering the youngster by neglecting her.

Dean was arrested and booked into the Matagorda County Jail on three second-degree felony charges, abandonment, endangering a child, and imminent danger bodily injury, according to the records, reports Daily Mail.

Dean pleaded guilty to capital murder of a person under the age of 10 and three counts of child abandonment.

This is a tragic story, and it’s one that could have been prevented if the mother had just taken her daughter to a hospital instead of leaving her home alone to party with her friends. It’s a reminder of how important it is to take care of your children, especially if they have special needs.
