Putnam County Toddler's Death Case Going To Grand Jury
WEST VIRGINIA....
The case against a Putnam County mother charged with child neglect causing death has been bound over to the grand jury. Prosecutors say 28 year old Tracy Wright of Teays Valley failed to take her 3 year old daughter Ashley to the doctor or give the girl her prescriptions as prescribed. Ashley had cystic fibrosis and died in December. Wright's attorney Dave Moye contends that Child Protective Services had an open case file for 13 months and never thought Ashley was in danger enough to remove her from the home. Wright remains at Western Regional Jail on a $50,000 bond.
