EAST POINT - The grandmother of a 3-year-old girl who died from head injuries last week turned herself in to authorities early Tuesday. <br>
<br>
East Point police issued a warrant for Beverly Headspeth's arrest late Monday and Headspeth turned herself in around 2:21 a.m., police said. <br>
<br>
Last month, Alexis Headspeth was hospitalized with head injuries after her grandmother claimed the girl almost drowned in a bathtub. The child was eventually taken off life support. <br>
<br>
The state Division of Family and Children Services is investigating how she was injured, and what warnings the agency may have had that the child was in a precarious home environment. <br>
<br>
Family members and neighbors in East Point said they repeatedly told DFACS they believed the girl and her siblings were being mistreated at the home of their maternal grandmother. <br>
<br>
Headspeth was charged with child cruelty in the first-degree, according to WAGA-TV in Atlanta. She is expected in court Tuesday afternoon.
