A mom in Minnesota is heading to prison for causing the death of her 9-year-old daughter after she refused to let the parents of one of the girl’s friends take her to the hospital during an asthma attack she was having — opting to treat the child with a steam bath and “home remedies” instead, according to prosecutors.

Rachel Modrow, 36, of Hopkins, didn’t care that her daughter “was blue,” wheezing heavily and unable to raise her arms that day while at a sleepover with a friend, according to the criminal complaint filed against her last April by Hennepin County prosecutors. She was either going to treat her daughter’s asthma attack at home with her husband or take her to the hospital herself, per the mom of her daughter’s friend, who tried taking her for medical treatment but was denied.
