YOUNGSTOWN — Kamille A. Hibbitt, 33, of Struthers, was sentenced to three years in prison Thursday in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court after pleading guilty last month to felony child endangering and misdemeanor domestic violence.

The three-year sentence was recommended by Mahoning County prosecutors and the defense. Hibbitt got credit for 174 days spent in the Mahoning County jail awaiting trial.

The convictions relate to Hibbitt and another woman taking a 7-year-old child to Akron Children’s Hospital in Boardman “with bruises throughout (his or her) body and was unconscious,” according to a Struthers police report.

The report stated that an officer was advised by hospital staff that the child “had life-threatening injuries and was going to need to be transported to Akron Children’s main campus via Life Flight.”

A criminal complaint filed in Struthers Municipal Court on Oct. 16, at the time charges were filed, states that Hibbitt, mother of the child, carried the child into Akron Children’s Boardman about 12:15 p.m. Oct. 14.

The child was “cold to the touch, unresponsive and (the child’s) pupils were nonreactive.” Medical personnel used blankets and heated IV fluids and other methods to raise the child’s core body temperature.

The document stated that staff at the hospital described the case as “one of the most critical they had ever encountered.” The child also was severely malnourished, it said.

The other woman in the case is Essence L. Revely, 30, of the same address in Struthers, who pleaded guilty Thursday in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court to felony child endangering and also will be sentenced April 15. She could get about three years in prison.

Revely, who lived with Hibbitt, drove Hibbitt and the child to the hospital Oct. 14 and then left with another child of Hibbitt, the criminal complaint states.

Struthers police detectives interviewed Hibbitt and Revely. Hibbitt stated she was the sole caretaker for both of her children and that the injured child had been “throwing” himself or herself “to the floor.”

Hibbitt said she supplemented the child’s diet with protein powder and Ensure, but ran out after using all of her allotted food benefits.

Revely told detectives she has been a close friend of Hibbitt for about 20 years and admitted that some of the injuries took place while she was watching the child.

She said she and Hibbitt feared taking the child for medical care until bruising healed for fear that they would be accused of child abuse.
