The incident took place in February but the parents were charged this week. They could face 10 years in jail.
A couple in the US have been arrested in connection with the death of their nine-year-old daughter after an asthma attack. According to Metro, Anthony and Rachel Modrow allegedly failed to call an ambulance and instead ran Amy Lynn Modrow a bath when she suffered the asthma attack. The incident took place when Amy was at her friend's house in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Her parents refused to seek medical treatment for her and a call was made on the emergency number 911 after three hours, the outlet further said.
Her parents have now been charged one count of second-degree manslaughter for the alleged neglect and endangerment of their child.
The documents filed in court say that when Amy started experiencing breathing difficulties, the nine-year-old told her friend's mother that she only has her grandmother's inhaler.
