Police spent months reviewing the third-grader’s medical records after her death. They discovered that Jones had skipped diabetes training in 2005, after her daughter’s diagnosis. Investigators also learned that Child Protective Services had been receiving reports of neglect since 2001, prompting multiple investigations into Jones’ family, according to the Morning News. In fact, just four days before the girl’s death, CPS had inspected the home after hearing that Jones was not properly monitoring Butler’s diabetes.

Pamela Jones, the girl’s grandmother and Jones’ mother, told the station that the third-grader was “a weak little girl” who “didn’t come out and play because she was so weak.”  Jones and Marqus Butler have four other children, ages 2 to 8. After their mother’s sentencing, the children were put in the custody of Marqus’s mother’.
