An Ohio mother whose nearly-starved 16-pound 3-year-old girl was rescued by police from a feces-covered, bug-infested apartment will spend years in prison.

Rabyah Muballigh, 26, was sentenced to 7 to 10 1/2 years on Thursday in the case of extreme child abuse involving her daughter, the Greene County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office announced in a news release. Muballigh pleaded no contest to charges of felonious assault and endangering children, online court records show.

Greene County Prosecuting Attorney David D. Hayes stated that it was the worst case of child abuse he’s seen in his 20-year career.

“Muballigh is going to prison for several years, as she should,” he said in the news release. “Her primary responsibility was to care for that child and she failed to do that and caused that child serious physical harm.”
