\"\"SMITH COUNTY — A Tyler man was sentenced to 35 years in prison after his daughter\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s feet had to be amputated following the winter storm when he did not take her to receive medical care. According to our news partner KETK, Glenn Caldwell, 45, was arrested last year after he kept his mentally disabled daughter from the doctor despite the fact her feet had been bleeding and were swollen and discolored. Caldwell admitted to police that his daughter had complained about her feet hurting throughout the week and that she even woke him up several times in the middle of the night telling him she was in pain. He also admitted to being aware of his daughter leaving a trail of blood that led from her bedroom to the living room and the bathroom. The warrant stated that a neighbor even called Caldwell on Feb. 26 saying the girl was \u00e2\u20ac\u0153crawling on the ground outside the trailer house.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d He told investigators that the pipes had busted in the trailer and their only source of water was a faucet outside the home.<\/p>\n

The investigation also revealed that there had been two electric heaters in the home, neither of which were located in the daughter\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s room, even though her bedroom had a broken window that allowed cold air in. In an attempt to keep warm, the girl reportedly slept in the living room and used the electric oven for heat. The window had been missing since the family moved into the trailer on December 1, 2020.<\/p>\n

The victim\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s feet were amputated on March 2 at UT Health Tyler and the warrant states they were \u00e2\u20ac\u0153black, swollen, and bleeding.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d When asked why he waited so long to get her held, Caldwell replied he kept \u00e2\u20ac\u0153putting it off, and putting it off.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
