Child abuse and neglect cases in Mobile County
Overview
Legal proceedings and investigations regarding child abuse and neglect have occurred in Mobile County, Alabama.
In September 2026, Erin Griffith was convicted of child abuse and aggravated child abuse after a jury found she struck a minor with an unspecified object. Griffith, who had prior child abuse charges from 2024, was awaiting sentencing.
In October 2026, authorities arrested Sara Sprinkle and Gregory Sullivan on three counts of aggravated child abuse. The investigation was initiated after medical staff at USA Children’s and Women’s Hospital reported that one of the couple’s two-month-old twin boys was “very close to death” due to severe malnourishment. Further investigation revealed that their other children, including a second twin and a one-year-old son, were also suffering from neglect. The children were hospitalized for treatment, and the parents were held on a $400,000 bond.
