Not only did an autopsy reportedly reveal that Paige Howling Wolf’s son died from chronic starvation, but three of her children — all younger than seven — allegedly tested positive for methamphetamine.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office in North Dakota unsealed its criminal complaint on Wednesday, Oct. 21, against Paige Howling Wolf of Parshall, N.D. The charges of involuntary manslaughter, child neglect and child abuse stem from a June 24 emergency call on the Fort Berthold Reservation.

Paramedics responded to a report of an unresponsive infant at Howling Wolf's home, according to a news release from prosecutors.

Her 9-month-old child was declared dead at the scene. An autopsy revealed the baby died from chronic starvation, according to prosecutors.

Three of Howling Wolf's four other children had meth in their systems, prosecutors said. Those three children were not older than 7 years old, court documents show.

So young with 5 kids. Are there no checks on these young girls doing it alone?Surely she had family, neighbours that would have noticed something.

This is a haunting case, and deserves some attention here -- I wonder if this might be achieved by moving it to a more appropriate forum, such as "Crimes Against Children?" Alerting.

According to Karson's Obit he loved mashed potatoes and bananas. He was content to sit in his lol chair and watched all the activity around him by his siblings.

Karson's Great-Great Grandmom gave him the name Naagua-sh which means "Going Home".

What coincidences? They name his fave foods, and his watching amped up siblings, and he is named "Going Home".

Looks like there is no dad, and no grandmom's. Just the great gramps and and an auntie.

Meth!

26 years old. So young with 4 under the age of 7 years old. And no grandparents? Where’s the fathers of these little ones?
