"No child should ever have to endure such suffering,"
"Obviously the allegations are horrific and what happened to this child is horrific,"
An 11-year-old Connecticut girl, Jacqueline "Mimi" Torres-Garcia, died of fatal child abuse by starvation. Her remains were discovered inside a plastic bin on Oct. 8. Investigators allege she was denied food for two weeks and frequently restrained with zip ties. Months after her death, another child impersonated her during a video call with the state child welfare agency. Karla Garcia, the girl's 29-year-old mother, and two others were arrested and charged with murder, cruelty to a child, and related counts; charges were entered or not entered and cases were continued to December. Defendants remain detained on bail as investigators continue.
