Woman Sentenced For Starving Child
(Portland, OR) -- A Portland woman who was found guilty of starving a child was sentenced to nearly two years in prison on Friday. Jamie Strahm was caring for a seven-year-old child who had a feeding tube following a brain injury. The child was extremely thin and frail when hospitalized. The child started eating by mouth, when Strahm wasn't in the hospital room, and gained weight. As part of her sentence, Strahm can't have contact with the child, must undergo a psychological evaluation, and complete parenting classes.
