Carrollton mother faces charges in daughter's death

The mother of a 5-year-old Carollton girl who wandered away from her home and was mauled to death by a neighbor's dog, is facing a bond hearing on charges of reckless conduct and involuntary manslaughter.

Authorities say 41-year-old Florence Pauley took methamphetamine during the morning of her daughter's disappearance and following death. Police say Pauley's ability to supervise her daughter was affected.

The girl who had Down syndrome, was found dead last Thursday near a chained Rottweiler in a nearby unfenced yard.
