Parents Charged After Baby Dies With 96 Fractures In Body

[Sugar Cookie]

A man and woman have been charged in the death of their prematurely born daughter, who was killed just days after she was brought home from the hospital, Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg announced Monday.

Jason Paul Robin, 24, was charged with murder and Katharine Wyndham White, 21, was charged with injury to a child by omission in the death of their daughter, Jazmine Robin.

The 10-week-old died on July 15, 2018, just 12 days after she was brought home. An autopsy showed that she died from being struck in the head. She had bruises on her face and scalp and 96 fractures, including 71 rib fractures and a cracked skull.

“The evidence shows that Baby Jazmine fell victim to the very people who were supposed to protect her the most in this world,” Ogg said. “After a full and thorough investigation of the facts, we have filed charges, and will seek justice for young Jazmine,” Attorney Ogg says.

Houston police detectives were called to Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital by staff who said the child had “clearly inflicted head trauma.”

One third the amount of bones a newborn has... wtf... broke the baby to shut it up creating her to cry more!

He looks like he’s 35 and she looks 12– that’s probably why he was attracted to her, vile beast

According to prosecutors, the day before her death, Robin awoke at 2:00 a.m. to feed Jazmine, but the baby refused the bottle at first. After several minutes of feeding, Robin said he noticed her go limp, so he claimed he performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on her after which she appeared normal.

Robin said Baby Jazmine then fell asleep "smooth, fast, faster than I ever seen."

She was taken to the hospital by Robin and White that afternoon reportedly after two feeding sessions followed abnormal behavior that Robin said scared him.


A family friend that was living with Robin and White admitted to officers that neither of the two took his advice of taking Baby Jazmine to the emergency room after she choked on her bottle and flat lined less than a week before she died.

Baby Jazmine's pediatrician also suggested they take her to the emergency room upon noticing bruising around her eyes after her July 10, 2018 check-up.

During an interview, Robin told investigators that while the child was having trouble feeding, she "started acting weird and went limp," according to court records. He told investigators that he blew in her mouth and pumped her chest twice, according to court records. After that, Robin told authorities she started acting normally again.

While chest compression can cause rib fractures, I find it hard to believe that "two pumps" could cause 71 separate rib fractures, even without specialized Infant CPR training - and did he even bother to check to see if she had a pulse before performing chest compressions?
Mouth to mouth breathing support is for someone who's got a pulse (meaning also a heartbeat!) but is unable ATM to breath on their own; whereas CPR, which includes chest compressions, is for someone who's dead, ie: not breathing and without a detectable pulse/heartbeat.

Did they ignore the visiting friend's advice to get her to the hospital after she supposedly flat-lined a week before her death, and the pediatrician's suggestion to take her to the ER after her check up because they feared the injuries would be discovered?

I've seen less bone fracture trauma in accident fatalities where the victim was thrown from their vehicle and it then rolled over/landed on them, than in the monstrous amount of fractures that this tiny newborn suffered.

I was in a high impact car crash a few weeks ago, got t-boned then pushed into a crash barrier. Guess how many broken bones and fractures I got? That's right, none. Now I know a little baby is a lot more fragile than my old ass but come on, 96 breaks? That little treasure was probably in pain most if not all of her ten weeks on this planet. Pieces of shit.

I rolled a vehicle something like six years ago. Same same.

Execute them slowly.

96 fractures!
That is some Evil Knievel level stuff right there.

I have no words .. <3

Hopefully the prison population will find out about their crime and exact some Jazmine “justice.”

The autopsy revealed that Jazmine suffered 96 total fractures throughout her tiny body. That’s almost 100 broken bones, guys. The kid was ten weeks old. I cannot even. The injuries included 71 rib fractures and 23 long bone fractures. The autopsy also revealed a cracked skull, bruises to Jazmine’s face and scalp, nine contusions to her torso, and trauma to her arms and legs. Her death was caused by blunt force trauma to the head.

Since the baby's death, the couple's older son has been placed in foster care. Katharine White also gave birth to another girl since Jazmine's death. That baby is now with a relative.

Damn they wasted no time in making a replacement. Those two are ground zero for a second generation epidemic of degenerates if they are allowed in their children’s lives ever again.

look at the beautiful pic at the hospital sure isn't the same happy face in pic taken a short while later and in hospital the baby was with tubes in her nose and what else that we can't see in the pic but that smile wow ..it takes some kind of subhumans to even thing of hurting little ones or covering up for them wow and it is their own child, it makes me so angry just reading about it so i would pity them if i ever saw them doing it or making excuses for the ones that hurt a child. Jail is a joke and doesn't teach them anything at all. short sentences while being fed, clothed, sheltered, etc after all they have what they refused their own child and that is they have rights and yea children's lives according to the law is cheap ......

I wonder why the paediatrician didn't follow up to see if they did take her to ER.
Like it's not a take or leave it thing, or maybe make an appointment with a specialist next month. He said take her to Emergency after leaving here. I wonder what else was noticed at the well check.
He's a mandated reporter if he suspects child abuse. If he truly didn't then it's still super odd that he didn't ask a nurse to ring the ER to check on the state of his patient or that when no doctor from the ER rang him for medical details and history he didn't wonder why

A south Houston man is now sentenced to four and a half decades behind bars for beating his baby to death.

Jason Robin is 28 years old, now sentenced to 45 years in prison for the killing.

As part of his plea deal, Robin will testify against the mother, Katharine White, and cannot appeal the conviction of his punishment. He would have to serve at least half of the sentence before being eligible for parole.

“We’re here to stand up for innocent victims, and it’s hard to imagine a more innocent victim than a newborn baby,” Harris County DA Kim Ogg said. “Baby Jazmine deserved to live, and we have worked hard since her death to get justice for her.”

After spending two months in the neonatal intensive care unit, a healthy baby Jazmine was released to Robin and her mother, and brought to their rented house on Ebbtide on the south side. Two weeks later, Jazmine was dead.

An autopsy showed that baby Jazmine had at least 70 to 80 total fractures, including dozens of rib fractures and long-bone fractures.

“Two skull fractures, both old and new brain bleed, old and new bleeds on her spinal cord, bilateral hemorrhages which is bleeding by in the eyes,” Sawtelle said.
