A 22-year-old mother, Sierra Shay Hadaway, has been charged with murder in the death of her two-year-old daughter, Madilynn, in an incident that occurred in Oklahoma. According to court documents, the toddler was found bound with her arms, legs, and ankles tied together, left face down on a bed, leading to suffocation over a 12-hour period.
Hadaway was arrested on July 16, 2026, and is being held without bond. The charges include first-degree murder and child neglect. Police reports indicate that the child was left unattended for an extended period, and the binding was intentional.
The case has drawn attention due to the young age of the mother and the horrific nature of the allegations. The investigation is ongoing, and Hadaway is scheduled to appear in court next week. No further details have been released at this time.
