Target: Jeffrey Marsigli, District Attorney, Prosecutorial District 8, NC
Goal: Ensure appropriate punishment of woman for allegedly starving animals and abusing her daughter.
A disturbing incident in Nash County has uncovered shocking allegations against Nancy Beth Gupton, who reportedly exposed animals and her own 10-year-old daughter to severe neglect and abuse. Allegations indicate that Gupton willfully starved animals on her property, leading to numerous deaths and skeletal remains found in appalling conditions. Additionally, Gupton’s daughter was allegedly discovered in a state of malnutrition, with sores on her feet and dressed in filthy clothes, deprived of basic necessities such as education, medical care, and dental services.
Authorities responding say they discovered a harrowing scene, with hazardous living conditions impacting both the child and animals. Following the investigation, 32 animals—including goats, parakeets, and chickens—were removed from Gupton’s home. The gravity of the situation escalated when deputies confirmed the girl’s apparent lack of proper care, ultimately leading to her hospitalization and placement in the custody of Nash County Department of Social Services.
It is crucial that the allegations against Gupton be taken seriously and that she faces appropriate consequences. The suffering apparently inflicted upon these defenseless animals and her own child is unacceptable, and a strong stance must be taken in holding Gupton accountable.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear DA Marsigli,
The recent revelations regarding Nancy Beth Gupton’s alleged actions are deeply troubling and demand urgent attention. Reports indicate that Gupton willfully starved animals on her property, resulting in numerous deaths, alongside the shocking neglect of her 10-year-old daughter, who was found malnourished and in filthy conditions. Such seeming blatant disregard for the welfare of both animals and a child cannot go unpunished.
Further investigations reportedly uncovered deplorable living conditions where her daughter was denied basic necessities like medical care and education. This incident has not only impacted the lives of those involved but has also left a lasting impression on the community and authorities who responded to this tragic situation.
It is imperative that Nancy Beth Gupton is held accountable for her alleged actions. We urge you to seek appropriate punishment for the crimes of animal cruelty and child abuse, ensuring justice for the alleged victims of this distressing case. Failure to act could contribute to the perpetuation of such horrific neglect, and a strong message must be sent that these actions will not be tolerated in our community.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
