The mother and stepfather of Miranda Sipps were arrested for failing to seek medical attention for their daughter for four days, leading to her death.
A 12-year-old Texas girl died Monday after her mother and stepfather failed to seek medical attention for four days following life-threatening injuries, instead attempting to nurse her back to health with smoothies, authorities said.
Miranda Sipps, a cheerleader at Jourdanton Junior High School in Christine, Texas, was found in critical condition when her mother called 911 on Monday evening, according to a statement from the Atascosa County Sheriff’s Office. Christine is a small community about 45 miles south of San Antonio.
Emergency responders met Sipps and her mom on the highway after they had left their home, and rushed the unconscious child to the hospital, officials said. Sipps was pronounced dead in the emergency room shortly after her arrival.

“She was not talking. She basically could flutter her eyes and move her hands a little bit over a four-day period,” Sheriff David Soward said at a news conference, “and they had her laying on a pallet in the house.”
Soward said that Sipps’ parents attempted to treat her injuries by giving her smoothies with vitamins. As the girl’s condition worsened and she began having trouble breathing on Monday evening, her mother finally called 911.
“They were trying to give her smoothies, but somebody who is unconscious is not able to swallow,” Soward noted.
That’s… vile. Weaponized stupidity.
4 days laying on a fucking pallet, barely hanging to life while your dumb fuck parents try and shove a smoothie in your face instead of doing… literally anything useful.
Not even lay her in a bed or a couch, nah, just put her on the pallet.
Poor kid, she’d probably have had better luck laying on a sidewalk, at least there, there’s a slight chance someone would have called 911 before 4 days went by.According to another news source I read, the cops had been to the home before for child abuse and fighting. The mom showed zero remorse, so I’m betting she’s the abuser in the family.
Fuck me man. My kid coughs funny, and I am running through a mental list of what it could be and whether it requires a run to the doctor, not fuck it, here’s a pallet.
A fucking pallet for 4 days. Damn man.

I saw that coming from the “emergency responders met Sipps and her mom on the highway after they had left their home” line in OP’s summary.
Yeah, the parents definitely did something horrible to that poor girl and were afraid of getting in trouble…
I hope whatever prison they end up in serves them all their meals blended into smoothies
They’ll have to after it gets out they killed their kid, and someone beats the teeth out of their skulls
They might just be ignorant antivaxxers. People who promote that shit should hear this story. They’re partly responsible for this girl’s death.
No, they are kid murderers. They let their child die refusing to go to a doctor and fucking letting her lay in a pallet instead of a bed.
And let’s not forget that they refused to give details as to what caused her injuries. These are evil people and they deserve life in prison so they can never again hurt someone.
I don’t even know what I should write… like come on, what the…
Like if I wasn’t lucky those could have been my parents.
I don’t understand how people can do this to their children. I have no sympathy for people who won’t love their kids. They deserve all the karma.
Arrest the grandparents too for raising such idiotic children.
