Parents killed girl by making her drink too much grape soda, water, authorities say

 A couple in Tennessee made the man’s 5-year-old daughter, Alexa Linboom, drink large amounts of grape soda and water in a short amount of time which led to her death. Alexa stole one or two grape drinks from her stepmother and to punish her she was forced to drink a lot of liquid very rapidly, two liters in less than two hour to be exact. This made her sodium levels in her body go down which made her brain swell. According to officials this wasn't the only form of punishment she endured, but they wouldn't specify. After Alexa became unresponsive the parents drove her to the hospital where she was put on life support for two days before they decided to let her go. The parents are now being charged with first degree murder, aggravated child abuse, and two counts of aggravated child neglect.
