A Texas family is grieving after their 10-year-old daughter tragically died after trying to rescue kittens. 
 
 Greenlee Marie was trying to rescue her kittens from behind a clothes dryer in her home when she was electrocuted, according to a GoFundMe created by her family. 
 
 “On July 7th, Greenlee lost her life in a traumatizing accident at home. She was trying to rescue two kittens from behind her family’s dryer when she was tragically taken from this world,” the GoFundMe read. “At just 10 years of age, she had such a compassionate heart, not just for people but for orphaned and injured animals as well.” 
 
 “At the wishes of her beloved parents, fundraising in Greenlee’s memory are being made available to all who knew her and loved her in our community,” it continued. “Her whole life she had enjoyed helping those less fortunate than herself, and had always planned when she was older to become a veterinarian and to help rescue more animals.” 
 
 “So in honor of Greenlee we are asking that any donations be made, in lieu of flowers, cards, etc, her family would like to be able to collect funds to continue Greenlee’s passion of helping animals in our community. Please help us in honoring her memory by being her voice for the voiceless.” 
 
 Her mother, Shelby Roos told KSLA-TV that her daughter “loved her babies,” referring to the kittens Greenlee was trying to rescue. 
 
 “And she would do anything for them. I know she is up there right now with all of her babies,” Roos added. 
 
 Roos shared a Facebook tribute to her daughter on Monday calling her a “light.” 
 
 “With the heaviest of hearts I want to tell y’all our Greenlee was tragically taken from us Sat [sic] night,” Roos wrote alongside a photo of her daughter sticking out her tongue which was blue. 
 
 “She was such a light in this world and everyone she ever met couldn’t help but fall in love with her. She had more compassion for everything living at 10 years old than most will have in a lifetime,” she continued. “Please pray for us as we try to find sence [sic] in the senseless.” 
 
 “I ask everyone please continue to respect our privacy in not posing details. I will update everyone as soon as I have more info,” Roos continued. “Please hug all your babies tight because tomorrow is truly never promised. And take peace in the fact that she is in heaven getting love from all the animals she loved with her whole heart.❤❤❤❤❤❤“ 
 
 Police and the fire department are currently investigating the wiring in the home, according to the Dallas Morning News. A spokesperson for the New Boston Police Department did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment. 
 
 While the family had previously complained about electricity issues in the home, interim New Boston police chief Gary McGrary told KSLA it was “too early right now to start placing blame and responsibility.”

 A mom from the Spring Branch neighborhood of Houston reached out to WFAA on Wednesday, less than 24 hours after the electrocution death of her son, to warn others wading through the flooded remnants of Hurricane Harvey that they could be tempting the same fate. 
 
 
 
 “I just want to save a life,” Jodell Pasek told me as we sat in her front yard in plastic lawn chairs because her home was in the dark, without power after the storm. She says the power went out right around the same time her son was dying less than 5 miles away. 
 
 
 
 Andrew Pasek, 25, and his friend Sean Stuart decided to return to Pasek’s sister’s house north of the Addicks Reservoir to rescue the cat she left behind. When she evacuated earlier, she didn’t think she’d be gone long. As the water began to rise again on Oak Spring Drive, they decided to wade through the water to get to the house. 
 
 
 
 They were in just two feet of water when Andrew suddenly stopped near an electrical lamp post in a front yard. 
 
 
 
 “And Andrew stepped in the water, and he felt the shock,” his mom said. “Sean reached for him to try and pull him and Andrew said 'No, I’m dying. And you will die too.' And he just fell over in the water.” 
 
 
 
 Sean Stuart says Andrew stumbled and put his hand on the electrical light pole and then, with the electrical current racing through him, couldn’t pull away. 
 
 
 
 “And he told me just to get away from him. Just get as far away from him as I could. And so I had to let him go,” Stuart said. 
 
 
 
 “They couldn’t get him out. Nobody could touch him. Nobody could resuscitate him. Nobody could help him and they had to leave him there in the water for over an hour until Centerpoint came and finally turned off the electricity to the subdivision,” his mom said. 
 
 
 
 Electricity can travel short distances in water. Something I’ll admit even I didn’t take into full consideration a few days ago in Dickinson, when I waded through knee deep water with a family rescuing items from their home while the lights and the ceiling fans were still on. 
 
 
 
 “That could happen. And it just so happened it happened to my son,” Pasek said. 
 
 
 
 So, a grieving mom, less than 24 hours after her son’s electrocution death, asked to send a public warning. 
 
 
 
 “That’s the only reason why I’m doing this. I just wanted it to be for something. If this can save one other life or bunches of lives it would be something where I could say I helped somebody with his departing.” 
 
 
 
 A departing, a death, one more death from an already deadly storm.

 ST. CHARLES, MO (KTVI) – The mysterious death of a two year old child in St. Charles is no longer a mystery and that the death is now a criminal investigation. A St. Charles toddler died of hyperthermia, or extreme heat, after being left alone in a room for approximately 38 hours with a space heater that never turned off. 
 
 On Sunday, December 20, the mother, Kathleen M. Peacock, 22, discovered her child, Braydon, 2, was dead and ran to a neighbor’s home in the Elm Point Mobile Home Village. One of those neighbors ran to see if she could help. That neighbor said the child's room was extremely hot. 
 
 An autopsy was conducted to determine the cause of child’s death. 
 
 St. Charles Police said Tuesday that the child’s parents were cooking methamphetamine at the time of the child’s death. Authorities says the couple ignored the child's cries while they were on a weekend drug binge at their home. 
 
 Peacock, and the father, Lucas R. Barnes, 25, are facing charges of child abuse and neglect and manufacturing meth. 
 
 Police say that Peacock is pregnant. 
 
 Hyperthermia is an elevated body temperature that happens when a body produces or absorbs more heat than it can release.

 Relatives of the 2-year-old and neighbors in the Elm Point Mobile Home Village say they are devastated. 
 
 One relative says Braydon appeared malnourished recently. She had distanced herself from the child's parents because she says they had a problem using drugs. She hopes the parents receive the maximum punishment if they are convicted. 
 
 Neighbors say they too had distanced themselves from the couple. Christopher Garcia says his girlfriend ran into the child's trailer after the little boy's mother started shouting for help. She says it felt like more than 100 degrees in the boys room. 
 
 "I just know that baby is in a better place. He was innocent. He was the most innocent most pure human being that could have happened. So you know he's an angel in heaven right now. I'd like to believe that." said neighbor Christopher Garcia. 
 
 "This is such a tragic event that's happened. I think if more people knew of our services. Knew that we are here and available and didn't have that fear of using us. We would see more use of the nursery." said Jill Kneemiller of the St. Louis Crisis Nursery. 
 
 Relatives of the family say they want people know there are other children who may be in the same situation and are in need of help. They hope they'll get help before another innocent life is lost.
– A Texas family says they are trying to "make sense of the senseless" in the tragic death of their 10-year-old daughter, who was electrocuted in their home. Greenlee Marie Buckley's mother says the girl, who loved animals, died while trying to rescue two kittens that had become trapped behind their dryer on Saturday night, People reports. Police say the family has told them they previously complained about electrical issues in the rented home in New Boston, around 20 miles west of Texarkana, though Chief Gary McCrary says it's "too early right now to start placing blame and responsibility." Police and power company investigators have visited the house, which the family had lived in for around 15 months. Experts say that when a dryer gives off an electrical shock to the touch, it is a sign of one or more common but potentially lethal electrical issues, the Fort-Worth Star-Telegram reports. Greenlee's grieving parents say there's no reason their daughter should be gone. "Landlords need to be held accountable for the conditions of the homes that they let people live in," mother Shelby Roos tells KSLA. "All we want is a voice for our daughter who left us over a senseless act." Greenlee always "enjoyed helping those less fortunate than herself, and had always planned when she was older to become a veterinarian and to help rescue more animals," the family says in a GoFundMe campaign to honor her memory by helping animals in the community.
