A little girl died after her parents didn't call an ambulance for three hours when she was having such a severe asthma attack that she turned blue.
Amy Lynn Modrow, 9, died on February 17 when she was declared braindead after a week in ICU at Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis.
Her parents Anthony and Rachel Modrow, both 34, were on Wednesday charged with second-degree manslaughter and accused of negligently causing Amy's death.
Amy's father allegedly didn't refill her asthma inhaler for a month and her mother ran her 'chicken nugget' a steam bath instead of calling an ambulance.
As she lay dying in hospital, her parents documented her condition on social media and pleaded for donations, raising more than $10,000 online.

'My children is fighting for her life after a severe asthma attack. Help us,' Rachel wrote on Twitter.
After Amy died, she posted a tweet tagging professional wrestler Rebecca Quinn and told her friends 'lets get this message seen'.
'My 9 year old just passed away, she was one of your biggest fans. You made such a impact on her. You were her hero. Thank you giving her someone to look up to. She always wanted to go to Wrestlemania,' she wrote.
The post was accompanied by a haunting photo of Amy in hospital, hooked up to machines with a tube down her throat.
Anthony made a series of Facebook posts sharing his grief over the weeks between Amy's death and his arrest.
'It's official Amy hasn't had any sedation and hasn't woke up. She is brain dead. They giving her till Sunday for organ donation. I need to go home hurts so much. I said good bye,' he wrote on the day she died.
He wrote on March 25: 'Going to my job with the kids and Amy's memories hurts. Going home to where she died. I'm not doing well.
'Use[d] to be a proud home owner. Now I rather look into selling and look at the bus build I should have been doing after Amy graduated. My house is eating me alive.'
Amy's parents shared updates on her condition on social media during the week before she died
Paramedics only arrived after a family friend who was called to the home saw her turning blue, grabbed her, took her to the parking lot and called 911

Amy's asthma attack began when she was at a sleepover on February 9. Her friend noticed she was feeling unwell and told their mother.
The friend's mother became increasingly concerned the next morning as her inhaler, prescribed in her grandmother's name, wasn't helping.
She called Anthony, who according to court documents merely sighed and handed the phone to his wife, who said to bring her home.
The friend's mother told her Amy 'was not faking' the asthma attack and offered to take her to a doctor, but was rebuffed.
Amy texted her mother at 7.09am asking for her medication, and by the time she got home at 7.30am was wheezing, breathing heavily, could barely walk, and asked to see a doctor.
Instead, her mother allegedly did nothing until 10am when she finally called a family friend to come and see her.
When the friend arrived, Amy's skin was blue, she couldn't raise her arms and she was crying but Rachel just ran her a steam bath, court documents alleged.

The couple faced court on Thursday where bail was set at $25,000 with a condition of house arrest if they posted it
The friend insisted Amy needed to go to hospital and eventually grabbed her, carried the girl to the apartment building's parking lot, and called 911 at 10.40am.
Paramedics didn't arrive until 10.57am and worked on her in the parking lot before rushing her to hospital.
Anthony allegedly said Amy told him a month before her death that her inhaler was empty, but he never got it refilled.
Prosecutors wrote that pediatric doctors they consulted said Amy would have had a much better chance of survival if her parents immediately sent her to hospital.
They also said a steam bath was not a recognized treatment for an asthma attack.
The couple faced court on Thursday where bail was set at $25,000 with a condition of house arrest if they posted it.
