The parents of a Texas cheerleader who died after they allegedly tried to cure her life-threatening injuries with smoothies will face a jury trial.
Denise Balbaneda, 36, and Gerald Gonzalez, 40, were indicted by a grand jury on charges of injury to a child after their daughter, 12-year-old Miranda Sipps, died on Aug. 12 after succumbing to injuries she sustained days earlier. According to the Atascosa County Sheriff’s Office, Balbaneda, the girl’s mother, and Gonzalez, her stepfather, “failed to seek medical assistance for the girl, even though she was mentally and physically incapacitated and non-responsive.”
Instead, they allegedly attempted to nurse her back to health with smoothies and vitamins despite her reported inability to swallow while in an unconscious state.
