According to Yahoo News, little Savannah Hardin was forced by her stepmother and grandmother to run - for THREE HOURS - after lying about taking a candy bar. Severely dehydrated, she had a seizure, and later died as a result of the punishment.
I am all for physical activity, and I am all for children learning consequences of their actions, but it should all be proportionate to their age, ability and severity of their actions. To force a 9 year old to run for three hours? With no water? How on earth did they think that would end well?
The 27-year old stepmother and 46-year old grandmother face murder charges and are being held on $500,000 bond. Reading stories like this, I wish people could be charged with stupidity as well!!
