    Post Twanna Lyles charged in child's drug death

    I have been following this since November. A 911 call alerted police to "unresponsive" kids. One was dead, another was in an obvious drug daze. Its take 4 months but the mother of the dead 4 year old has been charged with 4 counts of endangerment, bond set at 100k.

    Police are searching for possible accomplices, namely the child's aunt and uncle.

    A few new details from www.kmov.com

    Liles left her four children with her sister Fredrica Liles who was babysitting the sibling, and now is wanted on several charges including drug induced homicide.

    She is accused giving her 4-year-old niece and the child's brothers prescription medication, because she says the children would not go to sleep.

    The children's mother was arrested Friday afternoon without incident.

    Autopsy results show that the 4-year-old died of a drug overdose.

    Police are still searching for Fredrica and her boyfriend Pernell Hampton in connection with the drug induced homicide.

    Fredricka Lyles pleaded guilty Oct. 8 and received a 31-year prison sentence. She is eligible for release in 2026. Hampton, 35, pleaded guilty to possession of a controlled substance and was sentenced to six years in prison. He is eligible for parole in 2012. The mother of a a 4-year-old girl who died in 2006 of a drug overdose was found guilty Friday of endangering the life of the child and was sentenced to a year of probation.

    Twanna Lyles, 28, of 3405 Converse Ave., in East St. Louis, was charged after police found her daughter, Deanna D. Johnson, dead inside a bedroom after a 911 call.

    An unusually groggy 2-year-old boy, Twanna Lyles' son, was also rescued from the home by police and later collapsed in an ambulance. The boy was in critical condition for a time at a St. Louis hospital, but has since recovered

    Don't open that! Web of Trust blocked it as an unsafe site.
    "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."
