Houston, TX – Police officials released a statement, saying that the 23-year-old mom, later identified as Jasmlne, and the 25-year-old dad, later identified as GIenn, were arrested and later charged with causing serious bodiIy injury to a child in connection with their lnfant’s death. Police officials said baby girl was rushed to the hospital with life-threatening injuries caused by the parents. The child had bIeeding on her braln, bIood coming from the mouth and several broken ribs.
The fatal incident occurred at the end of last month, court records say. The child was rushed to the hospital with life-threatening injuries and was pronounced dead several days later. The medical examiner told investigators that the baby’s fatal injuries were reportedly caused by shaking the 5-month-old infant aggressively.
During the investigation process, authorities discovered that the baby suffered the fatal injuries and was throvving up constantly and was left partially paralyzed. Even when the baby started vomiting bIood, the parents refused to seek medical help and waited several days before they took the baby to the hospital. The medical staff told investigators that when the baby entered the hospital, her condition was very bad.
According to local news outlets, what investigators find so disturbing about the allegations is that even if the injuries were inflicted accidentally, the couple is accused of watching the infant get worse and worse and waiting to bring her to the hospital. The mother’s attorney argued that the woman sought medical care for her daughter, but didn’t specify when. The attorney also stated that the mother ‘was told to bring her in if the child got worse, and it appears the baby declined while their client was at work’. The 23-year-old mom is being held on $150,000 bond, while the dad (SEE PHOTO) is being held on $250,000 bond, court records say.
