Woman Charged With Killing Granddaughter
FLEETWOOD, Pa. (AP) - A woman has been charged in the fatal poisoning of her 5-week-old granddaughter, authorities said.
Police said that Merry Long, 43, poured about two cups of salt into a can of powdered baby formula because she was angry at her son and his girlfriend, who is the child's mother. The couple and the child were living with Long at the time of the Feb. 11 poisoning, according to authorities.
The mother unknowingly mixed the formula with water and fed it to the baby, who went into convulsions and died Feb. 18, officials said.
Long fled the area after confessing Feb. 24 that she put salt in the formula because she was angry with the couple for the way they were treating her.
Long was charged Friday with homicide, aggravated assault and reckless endangerment. Authorities have not explained why they were unable to file charges earlier.
She has not been found.
The child, Megan Long, died from brain swelling caused by excessive sodium, the Dauphin County coroner's office said.
