New court filings reveal it all started with an argument with Kelsey Glover’s roommate after Glover refused to give insulin to her daughter, Giselle.
The mother’s roommate told investigators Glover took her daughter off insulin medication.
The roommate says that Giselle Glover was ill, vomiting, not eating and feeling weak. She said she had a hard time drinking water.
The roommate told deputies when she confronted Kelsey Glover about the need for medical care, the mother refused.
That’s when the roommate says Kelsey Glover grabbed the girl’s hair and held her underwater in the bathtub.
[Her father] spoke of the moments he lost with her like walking her down the aisle and sharing a daddy-daughter dance.
He called this the “most unimaginable challenge in this world.”
He described her as “daddy’s princess.” He wrote of how she had a heart full of love, was beautiful inside and out. He said she was intelligent and strong.
“From the moment you were born, you were the strongest soldier God ever created. You never let your type 1 diabetes define you or hold you back,” he wrote.
