A woman from Indiana, United Stated was arrested and charged for neglect after her four-year-old child nearly died from a severe head lice infestation, and her six-year-old daughter with the same condition missed classes for a month. Her sister was also infested by the head lice and got tested for any other illness. Investigators noted that the older child was sent home by a school nurse who determined she had head lice in early March. The grandmother said that she tried to get rid of the children’s lice but a pharmacist instructed her to bring them to a hospital instead. When the grandmother confronted Singh, she said that she “did not notice” her children’s condition and was “in a fog,” as per report.
