Oh well, it's not like they were used to her being around or anything...

Okay, the baby not even 3 weeks out of the egg donor, got out of where ever she was supposed to be sleeping, and ran herself a bath. Then climbed into the tub, and having done all of this was tired and fell asleep? Or maybe she was sleeping in the tub, because, you know, not potty trained and spitting up and all,
and someone accidentally filled the tub up with water not noticing an infant.

On Aug. 26 at 5 a.m., prosecutors say 22-year-old Jaila Thomas was allegedly drinking alone in her apartment in the 19630 block of Schoenherr when she discovered her infant, Lauren Williams, unresponsive, floating face down in the bathtub.

Medics were called and pronounced the infant deceased. Investigation led to the arrest and charging of Thomas in the homicide of her daughter. Lauren died from drowning in the bathtub.

Thomas has been charged with Involuntary Manslaughter and Child Abuse - Second Degree.

“The alleged facts in this case are appalling," Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy said in a release. "This baby was only in this world for eighteen days. Do I really have to say this? Don’t attempt to care for any infant when you are intoxicated. This shouldn’t happen if a person is “a little” intoxicated. Please don’t do it.”

Once again, your need for intoxicating substance, was more important than the blessed life you were given to care for! I hope, you are beat and waterboarded daily!

The death of this child will be blamed on her being intoxicated when it is possible she killed this baby on purpose.

I remembered what I was going to post, but didn't want to invite the foolish to deny it and call me names, so I didn't say it at the time. But I was dead on target for what ended up happening... She got off with a slap to her wrist and some nominal 'probation'. What a fucking joke the City of Detroit made about this newborn baby's intentional murder...
