Tennessee's DHS has some explaining to do!!
MEMPHIS, Tenn. - A Tunica County woman is in jail after being charged with murdering her 11-month old baby while it was being treated at a Memphis hospital.
Police say she admitted to giving the baby her methadone pills, commonly used to treat people addicted to drugs.
On October 21st, after a doctor in Mississippi became concerned about the baby's condition, she was sent to her to Le bonheur Children's Hospital in Memphis, where she tested positive for Methadone.
The baby appeared to be getting better.
Two additional tests, between then and November 2nd were negative for methadone.
But the baby died, November 3rd. Another drug screen came back positive for methadone. Police say, the only person with access to the baby, was her mother. They say she was responsible for giving her the drug.
30-year old Angela Davis Murphree is now charged with first degree murder and aggravated child abuse.
According to an affidavit, Murphree admitted to Memphis police that she crushed her methadone pills and put them in her baby's food. The report didn't say why.
