Blacksburg Mother Indicted In Death Of Her Two-Year-Old Son PDF Print E-mail
Written by David Grimes   

A 45-year-old Blacksburg woman has been indicted by a Montgomery County Grand Jury on charges stemming from the death of her two-year-old son back last September. The indictments were handed down last Wednesday, but were not made public until this afternoon.

 

Mary Nelson Parks, 45, of Blacksburg was indicted on one count of involuntary manslaughter and one count of child neglect, both felonies. The indictments were served at 12:54 p.m. this afternoon, according to Lt. Joe Davis of the Blacksburg Police Department.

 

Parks had went to the Rainbow Riders Day Care Center on Ramble Road, which is located near the Corporate Research Center, to pick up her two-year-old son, Juan on Sept. 7, 2007. The boy was found unresponsive in her car at the end of the work day after she had failed to drop him off before going to work.

 

According to the medical examiner’s office in Roanoke, the two-year-old died of a heat stroke.

 

Wythe County Commonwealth's Attorney Gerald Mabe is the special prosecutor in the case. Montgomery County Commonwealth Attorney Brad Finch recused himself because he knew the family.

 


A $5,000 secure bond was set for Marks and a trial date has been set for July 28, 2008, at 11 a.m. in Montgomery County Circuit Court.
