Sarah Weber (Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office).
A North Carolina mother is behind bars after she allegedly did not feed her 4-year-old daughter any solid foods for six months, which caused the girl to be “severely malnourished.”
Sarah Weber, 28, is charged with child neglect with serious bodily injury, court records say. According to a warrant, cops went to Weber’s home in Charlotte on Saturday where they found the girl. Weber told authorities the child had been suffering from diarrhea for about a month. The girl had not eaten solid foods for half a year.

Weber also failed to take the child to the doctor in that time, police allege.
“This led to the minor child to be severely malnourished [which] was confirmed by a doctor,” the warrant said. “Due to the severity of the malnutrition, the minor child was admitted to the hospital for further evaluation.”
