DALTON, Ga. — A Whitfield County woman who was arrested in January on two counts of cruelty to children after the death of her 19-month-old son faces the possibility of more charges.

Whitfield County Sheriff’s Office Capt. Rick Swiney confirmed officials have received the autopsy report from the state crime lab but would not comment on what was contained in the report.

“Any further developments on the Tiffany Gibson case will have to be released by the District Attorney’s Office since there are pending charges,” Swiney wrote in an email response to questions about the case.

District Attorney Bert Poston said his office recently received the case from the sheriff’s office and prosecutors are going over the information.

“The next step would be grand jury either this month or next month, I couldn’t tell you right now if it will be ready for presentment next week,” Poston said. “All I can really say at this point is that the case is under review. Until we process all the information which has been provided by the sheriff’s office, I can’t tell you what the next step is going to be.”

The next meeting of the Whitfield County grand jury is scheduled for June 29.

Gibson was released from jail after her Jan. 26 arrest on a $10,000 bond. No attorney of record is listed with the Clerk of Superior Court’s office. A phone number for her could not be found.

Toddler Terry Gibson was found dead on Jan. 16 by officers who were sent to a residence on Latonia Drive. Tiffany Gibson told officers her son had been running a fever the night before. An incident report included information that Gibson gave the child Tylenol around 2 that morning, and she checked on the child again at 5 a.m. She told deputies she went to sleep and didn’t wake up until 2 p.m., when she found the child unresponsive.

According to a call to the Whitfield County 911 center made by a woman who was living in the home with Gibson, when Gibson checked on the child in the afternoon the boy was not breathing, was cold and was covered in purple dots “on his face, on his arms and on his legs.”

At the time of the incident, Swiney said the deputies who responded to the call described the conditions in the home as “deplorable.” There was also a 5-year-old in the home.

“The entire residence was in disarray,” he said. “There was feces on the crib, on the floor. The (boy’s) mattress was wet with urine.”

Swiney said feces on the floor was from a dog inside the residence.

A spokesperson for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said in April that a backlog of cases at the state crime lab was responsible for the delay in the results being delivered to the sheriff’s office.

“The autopsy was done pretty quickly, but the blood samples and tissue samples can take a long time to process and get into a written report,” Poston said.
