REGINA — A Regina woman charged in the death of a four-year-old girl and the neglect of the girl's younger sister says she had to cut down on the older child's food because she often ate twice as much as her sister and threw up.
Tammy Goforth and her husband Kevin are both charged with second-degree murder in the death of the older girl and causing bodily harm to the two-year-old.
She took the stand today and said she played with the girls, watched TV with them, took them on outings and made sure they were fed properly and got their daily vitamins.
Goforth said she taped mittens to the older girl's hands to prevent her from picking her scabs and scratching her face.
The girls were taken to hospital in August 2012 suffering from severe malnutrition.
Court has heard the older sister was taken off life support two days later while the younger girl recovered.
