Billy Bob Thornton’s Daughter Charged with Neglect Over Infant’s Death

Billy Bob Thornton’s Daughter Charged with Neglect Over Infant’s Death
Billy Bob Thornton’s 29-year-old daughter Amanda Brumfield has been charged after an infant she was caring for diied, according to Contact Music. Apparently, Amanda was taking care of a one-year-old baby in October 2008 and reported to investigators that the infant had hit her head in the playpen when the child died. However, police indicated that she failed to call for emergency assistance for over two hours.

An autopsy found that the baby had suffered a fractured skull and a subdural hematoma due to blunt trauma. After police didn’t buy Amanda’s story, the baby’s death was ruled as a homicide.

Billy Bob issued a statement about the incident that said:

“Anytime a baby’s life is lost is an unimaginable tragedy and my heart goes out to the baby’s family and loved ones.”

Well at least Billy Bob’s statement is compassionate towards the family who lost their precious little baby. What a terrible tragedy. It’s hard to believe Billy Bob’s daughter didn’t bother calling for help until 2 or so hours later. My heart goes out to the baby’s family too.
