Ebony Berry,37 from Smyrna,Georgia,pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and child cruelty charges in Cobb County on Tuesday for the death of her daughter,Markea.Prosecutors had agreed to drop murder charges against Berry,who they said did not withhold food but failed to seek proper medical care for the teen,who had eating disorders including anorexia and bulimia.But just because the victim had an eating disorder does not absolve this defendant from responsibility in this death,’ Cobb County Assistant District Attorney Lindsay Gardner said.Had she gotten the victim the help she needed,there’s a chance Markea would be here today.As Markea’s weight plummeted,her mother did not take her to a doctor; the girl did not receive medical care at all in the three years before her death.
