A woman is accused of neglecting her disabled adult daughter so terribly that the victim’s hip bone was exposed.
Kricket Lynn Doughman, 50, was charged with two counts of neglect of a dependent resulting in bodily injury after a recent emergency visit to the hospital. Cops in New Haven, Indiana, also claimed she called medics in 2020 because the victim’s toes were mysteriously missing.
Documents indicate the daughter’s recent prognosis is grim.
“We then discussed [the daughter’s] current condition, and Affiant explained to the Defendant how the doctors advised that [the daughter] could possibly not survive these injuries,” stated an affidavit dated Monday.
The New Haven police did immediately respond to a request for an update on the victim’s condition.
Authorities claim Doughman brought her daughter to Parkview Regional Medical Center on Feb. 20, and she voiced concerns about numerous wounds on the woman’s body.
These injuries were “small at the end of January but became bigger within the past two days due to [the daughter] scratching them,” Doughman allegedly said.
“[An Adult Protective Services worker] stated that part of [the daughter’s] hip bone was exposed as well as exposed metal rods that were from another surgery,” documents state.
“Affiant then spoke about 2020, where medics were called to their residence after The Defendant had discovered [her daughter’s] toes to be missing, stating that she believed a rat or some sort of animal had come into the house and chewed off [her daughter’s] toes,” authorities wrote. “There was no clear conclusion as to what had actually happened to [her daughter’s] toes, but The Defendant still believes that an animal was responsible.”
