Billy Bob Thornton’s Daughter Charged With Killing A Baby

Billy Bob Thornton’s estranged daughter Amanda Brumfield was charged recently with child neglect in the death of a 1-year-old baby.
The incident allegedly occurred in October when a baby girl that Amanda was babysitting for died from a fractured skull caused by blunt trauma. According to authorities, the child fell from her playpen, and Amanda waited two and a half hours to call for help.
Amanda told police that the baby’s tongue was bleeding after the fall, but that she was “happy” and “playful”, so she did not summon immediate medical care. She claims that she then fed the baby bananas and fruit snacks, and put her down on the couch, where they both fell asleep. When she awoke, Amanda allegedly found the baby unresponsive.
Amanda, who is Billy Bob’s oldest daughter with his first wife, Melissa Gatlin, has reportedly not had contact with her father in years.
