[Sugar Cookie]

Police responded to a 911 call of an unconscious child in a home on Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard around 7:45 p.m., according to authorities. The child’s father called 911 and then left the home, sources told PIX11 News on Monday.

The 3-year-old boy was taken to Harlem Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, according to the NYPD. The boy appeared malnourished and had burns on his chest, sources said.

The boy’s 26-year-old mother was taken into custody, police said. The NYPD is working with the District Attorney’s Office on possible charges.

Neighbors told PIX11 News they never saw the boy with his mother. They said she has three other children.

A woman who identified herself as the grandmother told police she has the three children, sources said. Police told the woman to bring the children to an NYPD station house for verification.

Officers took his mother, Nytavia Ragsdale, into custody for questioning and later charged her with criminally negligent homicide and endangering the welfare of a child. Attorney information for the 26-year-old Ragsdale was not immediately available.

A woman who lives in the same building said Ragsdale had four children, though multiple neighbors and the building's superintendent told NBC New York they never saw the kids — and when they saw the mother, she was rarely in clean clothes.

"I never see them go to school...I never see her take them out. I don’t even see her grocery shop, to be honest," said neighbor Erica Speed. "She had on the same outfit basically for like two years. I tried to offer her clothes, her pride is too — I don’t know. She ain’t never want the help.”

Speed mentioned that workers with the Administration for Children's Services had recently been at the building to do general outreach. The agency is now investigating the incident with the NYPD.

The Manhattan mom charged with the death of her burned, malnourished 4-year-old son was ordered held on bail at her Wednesday arraignment — as prosecutors revealed the little boy weighed just 19 pounds when he died.

Authorities hit Nytavia Ragsdale, 26, with one second-degree manslaughter charge and three counts of endangering the welfare of a child for allegedly letting young Jahmeik Modlin slowly starve to death, according to a complaint filed in Manhattan Criminal Court.

“This child’s weight does not even appear within the growth percentiles,” Assistant District Attorney Heather Buchanan said in court. “He’s below any measurable percentile compared to other children at his age. The child had almost no fat in his body.”

The boy’s father, Laron Modlin, 25, has also been charged with the same crimes over his young son’s disturbing Oct. 14 death.

Although both parents claim they never denied Jahmeik or their other three kids food, the boy weighed only 19 pounds when he died — 80 pounds less than his mother believed.

She also said he’d been vomiting up his food for months — then eating his own vomit, the complaint said. So she only fed him “small portions at a time because he cannot keep food down and has diarrhea a few times a week,” she told police.

Fucking Bum said this

The father, Laron Modlin, told police he always gives his kids food when they want it.

And he said he “must not have noticed the condition of his son because he is often playing video games or on his phone,” according to the complaint.

The 3 sibling are all in the hospital because they are unable to eat solid food and are on IV fluids.

None of the children ever attended school or received vaccinations.

The parents are not able to have any contact with the children because of restraining orders.

the boy weighed only 19 pounds when he died — 80 pounds less than his mother believed

So she thought he weighed 99 lbs? My older son was small for his age and he weighed 19lbs when he was ONE. He's still small for a 45 year old man, he's only 5-4, but he finally gained a bit of weight, he might weigh 160lbs.

It's just disgusting they said they didn't notice how emancipated he was, just didn't even notice!

Jahmeik will end up being a payday

The family of a 4-year-old boy who died from starvation has announced plans to sue New York City’s Administration of Children Services, claiming the agency ignored warning signs that could have prevented the child's death.

The extended family of Jahmeik Modlin, the young boy found dead on Oct. 13 inside a Harlem apartment weighing just 19 pounds, blame ACS for his death. The boy's aunt, Nyisha Ragsdale, was set to file the lawsuit on Thursday, seeking $40 million in damages.

The city's medical examiner determined young Jahmeik died as a result of chronic starvation, malnutrition and dehydration. His aunt believes ACS neglected him, saying the staff was aware of his living conditions in 2022.

Ragsdale told NBC New York that ACS looked into claims the boy’s parents were abusing him and his three siblings, but determined those claims were unfounded. Afterward, the boy’s mother, her sister Nytavia Ragsdale, asked for help but did not get it.

"We look forward to deposing ACS, the staff of ACS, with regards to how this terrible wrongful death could have happened,” Rubenstein said.

Both Nytavia Ragsdale and the boy's father, Laron Modlin, were arrested in the days after Jahmeik's death. They were charged with manslaughter and endangering the welfare of a child, according to police.


The child’s extended family has continued to say they didn't know about the living conditions inside the home — but ACS did.

The agency referred any questions regarding the cased to the city's legal department. Earlier in the week, Mayor Eric Adams commented on Jahmeik's death and ACS, saying “I know we have a group of hard working professionals that don't want to disrupt families, but would like to go in and take necessary steps to protect children…all of us feel pain that something like this happened."

All they will be doing is taking resources away from other children in need.

And the piece of shit family will turn around and make sure the bitch that killed this child is taking care of when she gets out of prison.

The parasites.

 

[the cat did it]

Um manslaughter and endangering the welfare of A CHILD?! How about endangering the welfare of the CHILDREN as all were obviously endangered since the surviving children had to be hospitalized b/c they were severely malnourished, severely dehydrated and they ate and drank so little that when they did it was a shock to their little bodies and they could not keep it down or in-that is exactly what happened to Jahmeik and he died-so why not add on attempted murder charges too since it would of been inevitable had the other children not been taken in for immediate for treatment. You don't eat or drink enough you die, there is no other outcome-just like 1+1 will always equal 2. And manslaughter? Nope. This was plain flat out MURDER. A four year old only 19 lbs?! MURDER. Now the family wants to sue? Where were they when all of this was going on? How many times did they reach out to them and see the kids or call CPS or anything?! Did they fight for these kids when Jahmeik was still alive?? Only want to fight for him now that he's gone and see potential $ signs in all this? If ACS truly failed those kids then only the surviving children should get any money. I wonder where they are now (the kids)?

RIP Jahmeik I hope you are getting all the goodies and drinks you want now!!!!

I hope his siblings too are getting all the food, water, love and care that they not only need but deserve.

The parents of a 4-year-old Harlem boy who died of starvation have been indicted on murder, assault and child endangerment charges, among others, the Manhattan district attorney's office said Wednesday, calling the case a "tragedy that has scarred the city."

Jahmeik Modlin was found dead on Oct. 13 inside a Harlem apartment, weighing just 19 pounds. Neighbors had described his mother Nytavia Ragsdale, who was arrested along with the father, as a seemingly caring woman who often expressed concern for other children. That wasn't true when it came to her own, prosecutors allege.

According to court records, the boy's 25-year-old father, Laron Modlin called 911 the night Jahmeik died to report an unresponsive child. He was taken to a hospital, where he received end-of-life care until he died the next morning.

His siblings, ages 5, 6 and 7 remain hospitalized for malnutrition. Prosecutors said they displayed very limited fine motor skills, and were incapable of holding any utensils or of feeding themselves, though are improving with nutrients. When they first arrived at the hospital, they had layers of dirt on their skin and feces matted in their hair.

According to court documents and statements made on the record, Ragsdale and Modlin allegedly actively starved their children for about two years while purchasing food for themselves daily. The apartment had a working refrigerator that contained fresh produce but was turned so that the door faced the wall and could not be opened.

Any cabinet containing food had a zip tie on the handle.

One bedroom in the three-bedroom apartment was covered in feces. The floor could not be seen through the amount of dirt and excrement on the floor. The walls were smeared with feces to the approximate height of a child, prosecutors say. The only other items in the room were a few pieces of broken furniture, as well as a mattress, propped on its side and covered in feces. This room was the only room in the apartment with a lock, which was placed on the outside, allowing someone to lock someone inside the room. None of the other rooms in the house had doorknobs.

Jahmeik and his siblings were not in school and had not seen a doctor in over two years, according to prosecutors. Their parents allegedly kept any family or friends from visiting in person, limiting communication to phone or video chats, continuing to isolate the children and hide each of their deteriorating conditions.

The city's medical examiner determined young Jahmeik died as a result of chronic starvation, malnutrition and dehydration. He had almost no body fat when he died, records show.

“The death of Jah’Meik Modlin, an innocent four-year-old child, is a tragedy that has scarred this city," Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said in a statement Wednesday. "That he died a slow and painful death, starving alongside his older siblings, somehow isolated in the heart of Harlem, is a stain on our collective conscience."

"Today his parents are indicted for allegedly killing him through extreme physical neglect and persistent abuse with depraved indifference for his life," he continued. "Our Child Abuse Bureau is working diligently to secure justice for Jah’Meik and to support his three siblings during this immensely difficult process.

The Manhattan man accused of starving his 4-year-old son to death has been attacked by other inmates at Rikers Island as his lawyers fight to get him into protective custody, according to his defense attorney.

Laron Modlin, 25, was arraigned Wednesday for murder, manslaughter, assault, and criminally negligent homicide in connection to the death of Jah’Meik Modlin last month, authorities said. The boy weighed 19 pounds when he died.

The bearded defendant, dressed in beige prison clothes, pleaded not guilty during the brief court appearance in Manhattan.

“At least twice he was attacked in the unit by other inmates in response to the news and media,” defense attorney Jessica Horani told the judge while arguing to keep photographers from taking his picture in court. “We’re trying to get him into protective custody.”
