Kristen Meyer-Aleman, mother of 10 with another on the way, couldn’t understand how her 13-month-old daughter was dead.
One minute (Tayla) was fine,” her mother told a Palm Beach County sheriff’s deputy hours after it happened, “and she suddenly stopped breathing while in (my) arms.”
That supposedly healthy baby died April 1 with multiple strains of influenza, E. coli, the start of pneumonia and a bacteria known to cause skin infections found in her tiny, frail body, the Palm Beach County Medical Examiner determined. She weighed just over 7 pounds, two fewer than when she was born, according to its report.
Tayla’s official cause of death was ruled “inanition due to neglect.” Simply put, she died of exhaustion. And now her parents are facingfirst-degree murder and aggravated child abuse charges, and her siblings are in the state’s care.
According to sheriff’s office reports made public last week, a deputy could hardly believe Tayla’s little body was one of a 13-month-old. The skin hung off it, wrinkled, too loose for her tiny frame. She had sores, a severe diaper rash and a bruised left eye.
She didn’t have teeth.
