Report: Text Messages Have Incriminating Evidence. “Text messages recovered from the womens’ phones reportedly showed that they chose not to seek medical treatment for the child’s symptoms. Per KOLD, Sandra sent messages to her boyfriend on March 14 and March 15 stating that she knew she needed to get her daughter to the hospital. A week later, on March 21, she reportedly wrote, “OMG babe. Listen I’m in my room and my mom called me. [Redacted] was asking if I could check on her to make sure she isn’t dying.”” [Law and Crime]
