A 44-year-old woman in West Virginia is facing criminal charges for allegedly abusing a 14-year-old diabetic girl nearly to death, beating, neglecting, and even intentionally starving the child when her blood sugar was too high. Betty Underwood, of Rivesville, was taken into custody on Sunday and charged with two felony counts of child abuse resulting in injury, authorities confirmed to Law&Crime.

Doctors at the hospital said that the victim had numerous suspicious injuries, including bleeding on the brain and bruising on her head, face, hands, arms, legs, and feet, Clarksburg NBC and ABC affiliate WBOY-TV reported. The victim was admitted to the hospital and placed in the facility’s pediatric intensive care unit. The 14-year-old reportedly remained in the pediatric ICU for about a week as the medical staff treated her for the brain bleed.

The relationship between Underwood and the victim was not immediately clear.

Deputies also learned that Underwood “would not allow the victim to eat when her blood sugar was too high,” and that Underwood “had been observed shoving the victim’s face into a dirty cat litter box for not cleaning the box the way she thought it should be cleaned,” deputies said.

In one instance, Underwood “was heard making comments that she did not care if the victim died and advised a neighbor to inject her with a full pen of insulin, knowing it could kill the victim,” according to the complaint.
