A mother whose child died after developing diaper rash so severe that it caused a fatal infection and dehydration has been charged with involuntary manslaughter.
Cambria County Coroner Dennis Kwiatkowski said the child develop sepsis -- a life-threatening infection -- because the diaper rash was so bad. The dehydration occurred as the child's fluids were depleted from fighting the infected areas, which had turned black, he said.
"It's probably the worst I've ever seen," Kwiatkowski said of the infection.
