Mother facing child neglect charge
Detective Billie Brown of the McDowell County Sheriff’s Office charged Michelle Lee Cox, 30, of 62 Lewis Drive in Marion, with contributing to the delinquency or neglect of a child.
Cox was also served with two outstanding warrants for misdemeanor larceny and driving while license revoked.
She is the mother of the 8-year-old male victim. An investigation began after the Sheriff’s Office received word of possible neglect in the home. Brown said Cox knew her son had a headful of lice and didn’t treat it.
