GREENE COUNTY, Ohio (TND) — An Ohio woman who was arrested after authorities found her 3-year-old daughter barely clinging to life in squalid apartment was sentenced on Thursday.
Rabyah Muballigh, 26, of Fairborn, was sentenced to 7 to 10-and-a-half years at the Ohio Reformatory for Women, according to a news release from the Greene County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. She was also credited for nearly half of a year of jail time served.
“This is the worst case of child abuse I’ve seen in my twenty-year career,” Greene County Prosecuting Attorney David D. Hayes said in the release.
Muballigh is going to prison for several years, as she should. Her primary responsibility was to care for that child and she failed to do that and caused that child serious physical harm,” he added. “Many parents feel overwhelmed and many parents need help. If you find yourself in a situation where you can’t handle it, reach out to the many organizations that can provide assistance.”
