Denise Janelle Snow-Ingram failed to seek medical help due to religious beliefs, leading to her child's death from malnutrition and a Vitamin D deficiency condition, Rickets.

Denise Janelle Snow-Ingram, a Phoenix woman, has been sentenced to 37 years in prison for the death of her 16-month-old daughter due to malnutrition and neglect.
The child weighed less than 9 pounds at the time of her death and was only fed oatmeal, fruit and watered-down apple juice.
Snow-Ingram was convicted of second-degree murder and child abuse in November.
