West Virginian authorities have arrested the stepmother of an 11-year-old girl who died last year after being deprived of food as a form of punishment, Us Weekly confirms. Shannon Robinson, 51, was arrested on Wednesday, January 14, on a single count of murder of a child by a parent, guardian or custodian. It was unclear if Robinson had entered a plea to the charge, and information about her lawyer was not available. It was back on February 16, 2025, that first responders were called to Robinson's home, finding the allegedly emaciated girl unresponsive and laying on the floor in the kitchen.
