5 years old and 4’5” tall? That’s tall for 5. And only weighing 40lbs? And a 1 year old being 3’ and only 25lbs?? Is this info correct?!??
These numbers sound off and odd to me. MOO.

Regardless, I’m praying for a safe return. <3

i agree, if a 1 year old is 3 feet tall then they should check her pituitary gland (edit: is actually just a bit above average if the girl is almost 2) also are they not the kids pictured above in the first post? Theyre described as black but those children are either white or white-passing.

thats terrible glad the children are physically unharmed, though, and found immediately after the crash (I guess they couldn't identify the family so didn't compare with MP?)

Missing mother found dead in Augusta County crash: Police

Never expected this!

MON:
Desirae G. Sherwood, 25, and her children, Grace Washington and Violet Washington were reported found after going missing.

TUE:
Police said a woman from Craigsville had been found dead at a traffic scene and her children — still alive — were with her.


IS THIS THE SAME WOMAN? SAME CHILDREN?

State Police said yes. It is the same woman, Sherwood but under her driver's license name.

Here is their release:
“A 2006 GMC Envoy was traveling south on Route 42 when it ran off the left side of the road, went over an embankment, struck a tree and overturned onto its side.

The driver, Desire G. Washington, 25. of Craigsville, Va., died at the scene. She was not wearing a seatbelt. [Augusta County Sheriff's Office confirms her name is spelled Desirae.]

Two juvenile passengers, a 5-year-old girl and a 1-year-old girl, were transported to Augusta Health for treatment of minor injuries. Both girls were secured in child safety seats.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation."
