Malnourished seven-year-old girl's heartbreaking final words to neighbor who fed her chicken nuggets before returning to monster parents who 'glued her mouth shut' and left her to die

A malnourished seven-year-old girl died in an Oklahoma hospital just days after she told a good-hearted neighbor that her abusive parents loved her.

Violet Mitchell was taken to St. Anthony's Medical Center on August 2, where doctors said she was 'extremely malnourished' and was 'essentially skin and bones' with 'sunken eyes,' the Kansas City Star reports.

But just two earlier, a kind neighbor tried to help the young girl.

'I took her [in] because she was hungry,' Tera Day told NewsNation. 'I fed her chicken nuggets, mashed potatoes and carrots.'

Day noted that the girl 'didn't tell me anything about her parents, just that they loved her.

'That's all she said and she cried, and I took her back home,' Day recounted.

A recently-released autopsy has since determined Mitchell's death was due to a 'failure to thrive' after finding a plastic baby bottle blocking her small intestine.

She weighed just 29 pounds, and was wrapped in a blanket, 'wearing a diaper that was otherwise sized for a three year old,' the doctors told investigators, according to documents obtained by KOCO.

She also had a bacterial infection and injuries to her cheek, shoulder and left leg, as well a 'pale green' discoloration on her stomach.

Violet's mother, Lisa Mitchell, and her boyfriend, Anthony Yonko, were later arrested on child neglect and aggravated abuse charges.

Police said they received a call shortly after doctors pronounced Violet dead from a relative of the family, who said he overhead a group phone call in which numerous people were 'trying to come up with the same story regarding the death of Violet,' according to the Oklahoman.

“This is why they make Louisville Sluggers.”

There’s also a version of the Sluggers with sharp nails protruding from them. I’d say that version would work best at reeducating those parents.

I hear names like Lisa, Anthony, Violet and Tiffany - but in the photos all I see are Romas. Perhaps Hispanic.

If your profile is right and you are from Pennsylvania, you are a liar. You don’t live 10 minutes from Oklahoma. Crawl back in your hole of sensationalism and stay there. There is no need or gain in making a terrible situation worse by lying.

Immediate hanging. No prison, no jail. Hang them high! Make a strong deterrent! Who can hurt a child let alone their own!? I saw a lot during my time in the infantry. I am not sensitive to many things, but harm to children shatter my heart. She’s in Jesus’ arms now and that’s the only thing I can see to bring any consolation. If I didn’t believe God’s word and didn’t have that, how would one cope? There’s no hope for those who don’t believe.

Eat a bag of garbage.

I haven’t switched my profile from PA because I like to keep up with news there.

Bince. Cut off the attitude.

someone here said the men’s last name was Ukrainian so I’m going to go with Romas.

Why didn’t someone call the police earlier? Some people call CPS for the most insignificant things, while other people ignore starvation and abuse.

In any truly civilized society this beastly murderer would be executed within hours of a guilty verdict.

How could anyone do this?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Anyone could do this because ignorant voters and those who they vote for refuse to demand capital punishment and the SWIFT application of it.

They know there’s no need for them to worry because the criminal justice system in this country is structured to defend convicted criminals, and it has been for many decades. Anyone who disagrees might tell us how many convicted murderers have been executed in the last 100 years.
