BIRMINGHAM, Alabama (Reuters) - Two Alabama women were accused of murder on Wednesday for allegedly killing a young girl by forcing her to run for three hours without stopping, authorities said.
The running was apparently a punishment for Savannah Hardin, 9, who died on Monday at Children's Hospital in Birmingham from dehydration and low sodium, a condition common in marathon runners, according to Natalie Barton, Etowah County, Alabama Public Information Officer.
The child was apparently forced to run in the family's yard for eating a forbidden candy bar and lying about it, she said.
A call placed to a 911 emergency operator reported an unresponsive child having seizures, said Barton.

That's not a reason to charge them with murder.its a punishment. It turned out bad and the parents will have to live with that.parents are forced to punish children in unconventional ways due to the fact you can't even spank a child anymore.if the government would allow parents to deal with their children the way most of us grew up this probly wouldn't have happened.
