A woman in Georgia is facing multiple charges after authorities alleged that six children were left unattended at home for several hours, resulting in the de@th of one child. According to arrest warrants and state officials, Sherry Magby, 37, has been charged with six counts of second-degree cruelty to children. Authorities say five kids, all under 8 years old, were left for 12 hours under the supervision of their 10-year-old sibling. The siblings were left without adequate food or suitable living conditions, warrants stated. The home also had strong, foul odor consistent with unsanitary living conditions, and every room was in disarray. One of the children was eating roaches and ants because there was insufficient food in the home, the arrest warrants continued. Police said the child was a 1-year-old. Magbys relationship to the children was immediately unknown. On Thursday, April 9, a Georgia Department of Human Services spokesperson confirmed that one of the children at the home d!ed. We are devastated over the loss of this child and extend our deepest condolences to their loved ones. We will continue to fully cooperate with law enforcement as they conduct their investigation, the spokesperson said in a statement. In another development, Magby has an upcoming trial next month for another child cruelty charge from a separate case, in which shes accused of cutting a child in the back while he tried to get away from her.
