It would have been hard for her to do so. She was homeschooled, and the family lives in a very rural area. She was 11 and hadn't seen a doctor since she was 3.

But there were several adults who tried to get help. After the child couldn't walk or talk the maternal grandmother urged the mother to take her to help. The mother said she "would be fine and God would heal her". The grandmother than contacted a daughter-in-law in California, who called the police. The police sent an ambulance. Immediately before that, some family friends in the home called 911 and said the girl had stopped breathing. Unfortunately, she was dead by the time the ambulance arrived.
