HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) — The family of a baby is continuing to deal with unimaginable heartbreak in Huntsville.
Family members say this tragedy actually could have been avoided. According to family members, Madison Posey was just two weeks away from regaining custody of her twin daughters.
Posey gave birth to the twins in February but tested positive for CBD at the hospital.The Department of Human Resources placed the newborn girls in the custody of their father, Victavious Dennis.
Family members say that decision by the Madison County Department of Human Resources contributed to four-month-old Kyla’s death.
Madison posey says she visited her daughters on Sunday, June 8, only to find baby Kyla crying, when she picked her up, she says Kyla took two labored breaths, and her arms were limp.
She immediately contacted 911 but what happened next, has left this family confused and distraught.
After baby Kyla arrived at the hospital by ambulance, staff members at the hospital contacted Huntsville police.
Baby Kyla was diagnosed with brain trauma, a brain bleed, a broken collar bone, broken ribs, and a liver injury. Kyla died on Wednesday, June 11.
Her father, Victavious Dennis, is now charged with murder.
Investigators told News 19 that Dennis was alone with Kyla at home when her injuries happened.However, Dennis says, she fell the night before while he was giving her a bath, and hit her head, but the hospital staff says Kyla had other injuries in the healing stage.
Dennis is being held in the Madison County jail on a one million dollar bond.And now, Posey’s 2-year-old son and baby Kylie, the surviving twin, are in foster care.
Posey says that positive test for CBD came after her doctor recommended she consume it while pregnant.
When they were born, her twins tested negative for everything.
A GoFundMe has now been set up for Kyla’s funeral arrangements, which can be found here.
