Savannah was punished for lying to her grandmother, Joyce Hardin Garrard, about eating candy bars, and had to run as a result. She was severely dehydrated and later had a seizure, dying three days later.<\/p>\n<p>An Etowah County Sheriff&#8217;s Office spokeswoman said witnesses told deputies Savannah was told to run on February 17, 2012 for three hours. Her stepmother, 27-year-old Jessica Mae Hardin, later called police at 6:45 pm, saying that Savannah was having a seizure and was unresponsive. <\/p>\n<p>Savannah died on February 20 at Children&#8217;s Hospital in Birmingham. The autopsy showed that she was extremely dehydrated, and had very low sodium. A state pathologist ruled the death a homicide.<\/p>\n<p>Neighbor Roger Simpson told police that he saw Savannah running outside her home around 4pm, but didn&#8217;t give it a second thought, as no one was chasing or coercing her. Police are trying to determine if she was forced to run by physical coercion or by verbal commands.<\/p>\n<p>The sheriff&#8217;s office reported to Savannah&#8217;s home after concerned citizens witnessed the girl running and called police. Garrard and Hardin are being held in the Etowah County Detention Center on a $500,000 bond each.<\/p>\n<p>Written by: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/movie-reviews-in-new-york\/karen-benardello\">Karen Benardello<\/a><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_86296\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-86296\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Grandmother-and-Stepmother.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Grandmother-and-Stepmother-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"Grandmother and Stepmother\" title=\"Grandmother and Stepmother\" width=\"500\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-86296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Grandmother-and-Stepmother-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Grandmother-and-Stepmother.jpg 650w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-86296\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Grandmother and Stepmother<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The grandmother and stepmother of a nine-year-old Alabama girl, Savannah Hardin, are facing murder charges for forcing her to run for three hours until she died, MSNBC is reporting.
