Nurse connected to death of 14-year-old sentenced

Kilby has been ordered to report to the Montgomery County Jail on Friday to begin serving her sentence, which includes 180 days in jail, with 165 days suspended and credit for seven days previously served.

On March 1, 2011, emergency medical services responded to a home in the 700 block of Taylor Street in Dayton to find the conditions to be “vile, filthy and trash-ridden,” Montgomery County Prosecutor Mat Heck, Jr. said in a release.

The victim, Makayla Norman, 14, who suffered from cerebral palsy, was rushed to Dayton Children’s Hospital where she died. The medical examination found numerous bed sores, signs of neglect and a weight of only 28 pounds, according to the prosecutor’s office.

Kilby was one of several nurses overseeing the care of Makayla Norman. She was scheduled to visit the home every six months to check on the conditions of the home and assess the child’s health, needs and care.

Kilby was previously convicted in Common Pleas Court of failing to provide for functionally-impaired person and sentenced to probation.

“This defendant had an obligation as a registered nurse to report the egregious abuse and neglect of Makayla, which she utterly failed to do,” Heck, Jr. said.

Makayla Norman’s mother, Angela Norman, was previously convicted of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to nine years in prison.

The child, who was confined to her home, was supposed to be cared for by her mother and a nurse whose job was to administer care to the child in her home six days a week, according to the release.

Another nurse was paid to supervise, visit, inspect the living conditions and do a physical assessment on the child every 30 to 60 days.

One of those nurses, Mollie Parsons, also was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to 10 years incarceration.

The third nurse, Kathryn Williams, was convicted in Common Pleas Court of failing to provide for functionally-impaired person and sentenced to probation.

Williams also was convicted in Juvenile Court of failure to report child abuse or neglect and sentenced to 180 days in jail, with 150 days suspended, ordered to perform 160 hours of community service and serve one year of probation.
