LUFKIN — The trial of a Lufkin woman charged in the death of her second child while sleeping is winding down. On Tuesday, lawyers questioned Vanessa Lynn Clark’s parenting skills. According to KETK, the 33-year-old is charged with endangering a child following the July 2010 death of her two-month-old baby. Clark and her former husband, Mark Wayne Clark, 32, are charged with causing the baby’s death by sleeping in the same bed with it.
The couple told police that they awoke to find the child dead at around 4:30 am after going to sleep with it around 11:30 pm. The couple also had another baby who died in May 2009 during co-sleeping. They also have a six-year-old child.
