INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - A mother will spend 40 years in prison after locking five of her children in a closet, resulting in the death of two of them.
Edyan Farah was sentenced Friday to 60 years for two felony counts of child neglect. Of those, 40 years will be served in prison, 10 will be served as home detention and 10 will be served as probation.
Several of Farah’s charges were dropped as a result of her pleading guilty to two charges of neglect.
Police said Farah put her five kids in a bedroom closet measuring 6 feet by 2 feet, then pushed a bed up against the door so they could not get out. She then went to a friend’s house. More than 10 hours later, she returned to find her 3-year-old and 5-year-old not breathing. Investigators said all the children were severely malnourished.
