Sherry Atkinson of Red Bluff was found guilty of felony child abuse and will be spending the next six years in prison.
In February of 2015 Atkinson called authorities and said she couldn't find her 14-month-old daughter. When police arrived they found her daughter dead under a pile of clothes, and Atkinson’s in deplorable condition. A coroner’s report showed that the infant suffered from neglect and died from suffocation from being under the pile of clothes.
