Mom and dad left their baby, who suffered from neuroIogical disorder, unattended for nearly 1 day so they can go to fast food restaurant to get breakfast and then sleep throughout the entire day until they found the chiId not breathing; charged

Police officials released a statement, saying that the 25-year-old mom, Shana, and her partner, who is also the baby’s dad, Brayden, were taken into custody and later charged with multiple charges, including: chiId negIigence and chiId abuse in connection with their baby’s death. 

Last week, the baby’s parents called the authorities and said that their baby was not responsive. The mom also told the dispatcher that her son was not breathing and was cold to the touch. The responding officers found the unresponsive baby and realized that the child died hours ago.

During an initial interview with investigators, the 25-year-old mom reportedly said that they put their baby to sleep and didn’t check on him for nearly 17 hours, the following day. When the mom and dad woke up the next day, they reportedly didn’t check on their baby and instead went to the local fast food restaurant to get breakfast.

The parents also told police that when they finished their breakfast, they didn’t check on their baby and instead went back to sleep. The parents then slept throughout the day and later found the baby not breathing. The mother also told investigators that her son also suffered from neuroIogical disorder characterized by a buildup of fluid in cavities deep inside of the brain. Both parents are being held on $100,000 bond and their next court appearance is scheduled for next month.
