The girl’s grandmother and stepmother are in custody, reports The Daily Beast. The punishment they inflicted on the girl Friday caused her to become dehydrated and have a seizure. Hardin died Monday.
The girl’s stepmother gave birth hours after her arrest, police told USA Today. She and her mother-in-law are being held on a bail of $500,000 each.
Some witnesses saw Hardin running, but say they did not see anyone chasing her.
"I saw her running down there, that's what I told the detectives," neighbor Roger Simpson told USA Today. "But I don't see how that would kill her."
The sheriff’s department reported receiving phone calls from other citizens, though, who had witnessed the running and were concerned.
Hardin’s father had filed for divorce from her stepmother in August 2010. In court documents he accused his wife of being bipolar and an alcoholic. He also said she ran off with their child, reports USA Today. Five months later, he asked a judge to dismiss the case.

I am glad that the stepmother and grandmother are in jail or prison. Their punishment could never be enough for what they did. For starters, lets put a lion in their cells and make them run, and when they stop the lion has them for lluch. Maybe that will give them a taste of their own medicine. As far as the real dad goes, shame on you for not using your psychic abilities to protect your own daughter. Someday you will pay for your own weakness. Thank God your daughters karma is over with. You probley had an angel and did not even know it!
