Three young children starved to death. Their mother is charged with their deaths. But now a new twist.

The WAFF 48 News Investigators uncovered information about what Natashay Ward was doing in the weeks leading up to the deaths of her children.

The WAFF 48 News Investigators received a tip that Natashay Ward had contact with several valley churches and at least two national religious broadcasts prior to her children's deaths. And the information reveals she may have even sent them money. Money that could have been used to buy her children food.

Natashay Ward. A religious woman? That's how some closest to her describe the mother accused of starving her three children to death.

3. Poverty's a bitch.

We need to keep these stories in the front.

Quit letting the "morans" push the idea that we are living in the ideal society.

4. Very true

I knew these kids in KCMO. The mother was hotlined repeatedly for starving and beating her kids. But social services did literally nothing to help save them. It was a horrendous tragedy.

7. she might not be rich, but she wasn't in poverty. she was getting

money, and food stamps. she was probably also getting housing support.

9. My late sister had the misfortune of living in the same "housing project."

Like so many, it sapped all her income for rent.

10. Why is it the kids starve before the parents?

That's what pisses me off.
