Jabora Deris waited 83 minutes to call 911 for help for her 1-year-old son has been charged with child neglect and great bodily harm in his death.

Police said Deris called first responders for help 83 minutes after she had noticed the boy was unconscious and foam was coming from his nose and mouth.

When asked why so much time had passed for her to get help, Deris said she had first contacted her sister when she became concerned about the boy. She also told police that she did not call 911 immediately because she panicked and did not want the other children in the house to see the medical emergency.

An autopsy performed on the child determined the victim had a broken femur on his right leg, a healed rib fracture, and skull fractures.

The investigation also uncovered that Florida Department of Children and Families had previously removed children from the residence; however, they were recently returned to her.

Mother arrested after 1-year-old son dies

A mother waited to call 911 more than an hour after she noticed her 1-year-old son was unconscious. The boy died an hour later.

Whatever FDCF required her to do, she must've complied in order to get her children returned. It's clear that whatever problem she had in the first place has not been resolved. If your nature includes violence against others when things don't go your way, then that's not something that will change overnight and may not change at all. It's not magic. The person has to want to change; has to see that it's to their benefit to make the effort. It goes beyond just complying with FDCF orders, obviously.
 
Six months before Rashid Bryant stopped breathing, with four cracks in his skull, the toddler was brought to the hospital with a different injury: a badly hurt leg.

The hospital visit wasn’t Jabora Deris’ idea. A child welfare caseworker had insisted she bring her son in to get treated.

Rashid was about 17 months old. The Opa-locka boy had spent most of his life in state care, and had been returned to his parents only three months earlier — albeit under the oversight of the state.

There were ample red flags. He was the toddler son of parents who had been the subject of two dozen abuse or neglect reports. His leg was clearly hurting. His mother could give no clear, consistent answer for what had happened.

Although Deris acquiesced to the caseworker’s insistence that she go to Jackson North Medical Center, no x-ray occurred. No one insisted on one, including the caseworker who accompanied her. Rashid was too young to speak for himself.

A trove of records from the Department of Children and Families that detail Rashid’s short life and painful death shows that nobody in authority asked the probing questions that might have saved him.

And Deris kept changing her story — offering three different versions of what happened to the leg.

In a May 22, 2020, text to one of the boy’s aunts, Deris said she “beat” Rashid’s “a-s.” Six days later, she texted another aunt a picture of Rashid’s right leg, badly swollen. The aunt would later tell police that she suggested Deris take Rashid “to the hospital to seek medical treatment” — advice that apparently went unheeded.

As for what happened to Rashid, Deris told the aunt he hurt his leg when a sibling removed him from a playpen and dropped him. It was story number one.

Around two weeks later, the family’s guardian-ad-litem, a volunteer advocate for children, noted the leg injury and reported it to the child welfare caseworker, a later DCF special review said. When the worker insisted that Deris bring Rashid to Jackson, Deris complied. The caseworker met Deris at the hospital.

Only now, Deris said “the minor child was playing on the top bunk bed and rolled out [of] the bed,” according to notes taken by the caseworker, dated June 12, 2020. That was story number two.

The reasons for the lack of an x-ray are murky.

A report written months later said Deris told the boy’s doctor — wrongly — that Rashid had injured his leg only two days earlier. The report said the doctor offered Deris the choice of x-raying her son’s leg or “supportive care,” such as over-the-counter pain medication. She chose the latter, the report said.

The caseworker described the hospital visit, which began at 3:34 p.m., in detail in her notes. Rashid, wearing gray sweatpants and a white T-shirt, sat on his mother’s lap. He was placed on the floor and a picture was taken. “The minor child was able to stand on his own, but once he noticed what appeared to be pain, he lifted the leg and would not walk on it,” the caseworker wrote.

“The doctor reported no foul play,” the caseworker added. “The doctor informed the mother to continue with Motrin and ice the leg. The minor child did not need an [x-ray] as the doctor reports that his injuries did not call for [one].”

A later police report described the encounter differently. Miami-Dade Police Detective Christopher Perez wrote that records from Jackson North show Deris “refused x-rays to be performed on the victim,” adding Deris “did not seek further medical care” for her son.

In a court pleading later, DCF adopted Perez’s language. “The parents refused an x-ray.”

But subsequently, when the agency released its special review of the boy’s death, the agency once again described the hospital visit from the caseworker’s perspective: “Given the mother’s explanation, and the injury not being assessed as severe, the medical provider opted not to complete x-rays and only recommended the continuation of over-the-counter pain medications.”

If the boy’s caseworker had concerns about Rashid’s leg, her notes do not reflect them.

In contrast, Rashid’s relatives later told police the boy was never really the same after he broke his leg.

One told detectives that in the months after Rashid’s injury, he “had not walked in her presence.” When the relative visited the home, Rashid “was always confined to his bedroom and laying on the bed.”

Rashid was found dead in that bed on Nov. 6, 2020. The autopsy would cite “acute and chronic blunt force injuries,” complicated by “parental neglect” and the “withholding [of] appropriate medical care.”

Deris, 32, and the boy’s 36-year-old father, Christopher Bryant, were arrested, initially on child neglect charges, later elevated to manslaughter and aggravated child abuse.

And only then was the true damage to his leg documented. He had an untreated fracture to his right femur. A DCF email said “the bone did not heal properly, as the fracture was never treated.”

As to how that occurred, the autopsy report said Deris had told a doctor that the leg “got caught in the framework of a crib.” It was story number three.

Whichever story, if any, is true, it was one more agonizing injury in a life that featured several fractures and spanned less than two years.

Police have arrested a Florida couple in the death of their toddler, whose death is raising questions about why authorities did not act sooner to remove the boy from the home.
Rashid Bryant was 22 months old when he was pronounced dead at Miami Jackson North Medical Center on November 6, 2020. According to the police report, Rashad had stopped breathing, but his mother allegedly waited 83 minutes to call 911.
When authorities arrived at the scene, Rashid allegedly had foam coming out of his mouth. The coroner listed his death as a "homicide caused by complications of acute and chronic blunt force injuries associated with parental neglect."
PEOPLE confirms that his parents, Christopher Bryant and Jabora Deris, have been charged with manslaughter and aggravated child abuse.

An exposé by the Miami Herald finds that Rashid's parents had been the subject of at least two dozen abuse or neglect reports. PEOPLE independently confirmed the Department of Children & Families had investigated the couple at least 16 times over incidents concerning several of the couple's eight children.
According to the Herald, Rashid suffered multiple injuries in his 22 months. He had a fractured femur, a broken rib, and multiple cracks on his skull.
When Rashid had broken his leg in May 2020 — 6 months before his eventual death — Jabora Deris allegedly had three different stories about how the toddler had been hurt, saying at different times that he had fallen off a bunk bed or been dropped from a playpen. In a text to the child's aunt, Deris allegedly said that she had "beat his ass."

Deris never faced criminal charges in the broken leg, but the child was taken by DCF for several months. He was returned to the family three months before his death.
Days after Rashid's death, state child welfare administrators filed a motion seeking custody of the couple's seven surviving children. According to a court petition obtained by the Herald, DCF claimed that Rashid died after "sustaining multiple injuries due to severe physical abuse and medical neglect while in the care and custody of [his] parents."
At the time, Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Barbara Areces rebuked DCF for violating the state's public records law by refusing to publicly release the boy's file when the media asked for it.
Christopher Bryant and Jabora Deris have pleaded not guilty to all charges and are awaiting trial. They are being held without bond. The public defender's office did not return PEOPLE's calls for comment.

Meal tix, Fawn. Things like those 2 and Larissa Rodriguez (Jordan Rodriguez's egg donor) and Andrea Bates (Glenara Bates' egg donor) have kids to support themselves, then once the gravy train ends, either when the kids get old enough or when they're removed, then they dispose of those babies by putting them out or killing them. So many families in my community, and others, do this on the regular. It's DISGUSTING AND NEEDS TO END.

And it's DISGUSTING. I wish I could get off disability, but chronic illness and ASD, CPTSD, and other issues won't let me.

Exactly. I turned to sex work for extra money under the table. All I need are some skirts and some wedge heels, and hope to GAWD I don't get rearrested or HIV or STIs.
