Atlanta strippers get that bag by any means but this was completely out of line and tragic. 29-year-old Devin Moon of Gwinnett County is being charged with cruelty to children in the first degree and felony murder in the death of her 2-year-old daughter, according to WFMY 2 News.
Authorities found the child unresponsive on July 24 and found her body to be very cold. The mother had starved her to death as she only weighed 14 pounds. Moon’s excuse was that the child was born with medical issues that prevented her from gaining weight.
The autopsy did conclude that the death resulted from neglect as Moon starved the child. Moon was also a local dancer. Police found that she would leave the child at home for long periods of time at night while she worked.
“During the investigation, detectives found that she had been leaving the child to go work basically overnight shifts on a regular basis,” said Gwinnett County Police Sgt. Jake Smith. “So the child really was left at home alone for 10-12 hours most nights.”
Moon is still being held at Gwinnett County Detention Center without bond. Flip the page for local news video of the story.
