A Silver Creek mother is facing additional charges following the death of her daughter in April.
The Chautauqua County District Attorney’s Office said that a Chautauqua County Grand Jury issued a five-count indictment on Monday that includes 2nd Degree Manslaughter, three counts of endangering the welfare of a child, and 2nd Degree Murder against 36-year old Ashley Bertino.
Bertino was charged in November with 2nd Degree Murder after her 12-year old daughter Mya died of untreated diabetes.
She faces the endangering the welfare of a child charges for allegedly not giving her two other children proper sustenance or taking them to the doctor in a timely manner.
Bertino is being held in the Chautauqua County Jail with bail set at $250,000 cash. She will appear in court again on January 27.
Bertino faces 25 years to life in prison if convicted on the murder count.
