*Arraignment Hearing for both (@ 8:30am ET) - FL - Margie (2) died after being left in hot vehicle for ~15 hours (midnight to 3pm) on 5/16/23, Prosperity, Holmes County. *Kathreen June Adams (23) "mom" arrested (5/16/22) & charged (7/3/23) with aggravated manslaughter & charged (5/19/23) with child neglect, 5 counts of possession of a controlled substance & 4 counts of possession drug paraphernalia. And for McLean only with 1 count of resist or obstruct without violence.
*Christopher Martin McLean (32), "father" arrested (5/16/22) & charged (5/19/23) with child neglect, 4 counts of possession of a controlled substance & 5 counts of possession drug paraphernalia. And for McLean only with 1 count of resist or obstruct without violence. More charges are forthcoming pending autopsy results. They will be faced with some type of manslaughter or murder charge.
2-year-old Margie died in Holmes County, Florida, on Tuesday after being left unattended in her mother's vehicle for 14 hours. The toddler's parents, 23-year-old Kathreen Adams and 32-year-old Christopher McLean, have been charged with child neglect, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of methamphetamine. However, according to law enforcement officials, more charges are forthcoming, pending the results of an autopsy that was performed Wednesday, 5/17/23. Holmes County Sheriff's deputies responded to a 911 welfare check for a home in the county, which is on the Florida-Alabama state line, just before 4 p.m. EDT on Tuesday. Upon arriving, officers found Adams holding her child in her arms. Adams reportedly told the officers she found the child unresponsive inside her house and didn't know what happened. Once investigators started questioning the mother, they quickly found inconsistencies in her story. During a press conference on Tuesday, Holmes County Sheriff John Tate said the father was not cooperating with deputies during questioning. Adams eventually admitted she picked up her children from a babysitter around midnight and decided to leave them both in the vehicle. Officials say the 4-year-old child was able to get out of the car, and the Department of Children & Families currently has that child under custody. The mom did confess to leaving the child in the car for about 14 hours.
Judge Russell Sterling Roberts presiding.
