 Mon Feb 07, 2005 1:50 pm CHILD ABUSE Police: Mother Admits to Starving Kids |
|
| Quote: | HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (AP) - The mother of three children found dead in a Huntsville apartment has confessed to starving her children, police said Saturday.
Nathshay Yvonne Ward, 33, was charged with capital murder Friday in connection with the deaths of her son and two daughters. She was being held without bail.
Officers found the bodies of Shanieka Y. Ward, 11; Latricia Ward, 9; and Christopher O. Ward, 8, on the floor in three bedrooms Friday, police spokesman Wendell Johnson said.
Officials said the children had been dead for at least several days.
Investigators would not elaborate on the details of Ward's confession.
When the children were found, ``they did appear malnourished,'' Johnson said.
Johnson said relatives told police they had been trying to visit the family for weeks but Ward would not open the door. Officials said utilities in the apartment had been turned off since Jan. 12, and managers of the apartment complex had been preparing to evict the family.
Johnson said the children had not attended school since the holiday break. A representative of the city school system, not the Alabama Department of Human Resources as previously reported by the Associated Press, was turned away by the mother, the spokesman, Wendell Johnson, said Sunday.
Ward was single and ``took care of her kids,'' said Leetha McCaulley, who managed the apartment complex until October.
After her car broke down last year, Ward ``used to walk the kids to school every day,'' McCaulley said.
``It was just her and those kids,'' she said. ``She was quiet. Paid her rent on time.''
