MORGAN COUNTY MOTHER SAYS HER DECEASED CHILD WAS NOT ABUSED
A Morgan County mother is speaking out on camera for the first time since her toddler son died last month.
Amanda Beaty says her 17-month-old son Levi collapsed after choking on a cookie while at her Wartburg apartment on June 1st. Also at the home that night was her boyfriend, Rodger Prince. Because of a prior abuse case, investigators say Prince was not supposed to around Levi. Authorities, including the TBI, are suspicious about the death of young Levi and are conducting an investigation, going as far to say that Morgan County Sheriff’s Department ‘dropped the ball’ on the investigation. You can see the mother’s explanation in the WATE-TV report below:
