RIVERSIDE, IOWA – A mother and a father are behind bars facing homicide charges after their 17-month-old daughter was found unresponsive and later died weighing just 11 lbs.
On Thursday, October 19, 2017, 29-year-old Ambrashia Marie Chrzan and 36-year-old Anthony Lamont McCoy of Riverside, Iowa were taken into custody for the Wednesday, November 9, 2016, death of a minor. After a joint investigation by the Iowa Department of Public Safety’s Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI), Washington County Sheriff’s Office, Washington County Attorney’s Office, the Office of the Iowa Attorney General, and the Iowa Medical Examiner’s Office, officials secured and executed arrest warrants for Child Endangerment Resulting in Death (Iowa State Criminal Code, 726.6(4)), a Class B felony.
On November 9, 2016, the seventeen (17) month old minor, identified herein as A.M., was discovered unresponsive in her crib by her mother, Ambrashia Chrzan. Ambrashia Chrzan and Anthony McCoy were identified as the biological parents and the sole caretakers responsible for care and feeding of A.M.
On November 10, 2016, an autopsy was done on A.M. by a pathologist at the University of Iowa Hospital’s Decedent Care Unit. A.M’s death was ruled a homicide and the cause of death was undetermined while malnutrition and neglect significantly contributed to the death. At the time of the autopsy, A.M.’s body weight was eleven (11) pounds and the pathologist found A.M. to be in a state of malnutrition.
Ambrashia Chrzan and Anthony McCoy are currently being housed in the Washington County Jail. If convicted, both face up to no more than fifty (50) years confinement.
It took almost a year to arrest these ‘people’? I have to wonder if they were still together and if there were any more suffering children in their ‘care’
Lock these Fkrs up n starve them!!
this is why abortion is a good idea, kid is dead anyways
…yet another reason for mandatory sterilization for these miscreants…both of them!
Take him to the Men’s prison and take her to the Women’s Prison. Announce what they did and throw them into General population. Have the guards holster their guns. Hell is TOO GOOD for them!
Dear Christ how did this happen. Hell awaits.
Very sad. Back in the day you’d get the switch or belt by your parents for your misdeeds when a kid. Nowadays this seems to be happening a lot in Iowa.The computers are the ‘parents’ in today’s world. With 1.7 billion dollars donated by Mr Gates to education I’m sure it will be in ‘computer dollars’. Real world skills come from people that pass it on not computers. There is something terribly wrong when something like this happens. Where is the love?
Child is 17 months old and NO ONE noticed she only weighed 11 pounds???? Something is wrong here.
Judging on this one. Just look at em. Where are their parents? Are they Illegals? Better get the maximum and then some!
I Hope they somehow read NIT. Losers
