Sentenced: Indianapolis Mother Facing Charges In 1YO's Death

[Sugar Cookie]

On Nov. 26, 2020, medics responded to a report of a 1-year-oldchild with burn injuries.

According to the Marion County Prosecutor's Office, the child had burns that covered approximately 25% of her body. She later died from the burns.

Alexandria Jones, the child's mother, told police her daughter got the burns while taking a bath in the kitchen sink. After the incident, prosecutors said Jones didn't seek medical treatment for Hernandez in a timely manner.


An autopsy report determined Hernandez died of "complications from thermal injury." Doctors also said the girl had several broken bones. The autopsy report also found the child could have survived the thermal injury with appropriate medical attention.

Jones has been charged with neglect of a dependent resulting in death and two counts of neglect of a dependent resulting in serious bodily injury.

”They say Davie Jackson Junior was smothered and he was laying in a bed with an older cousin,” said the boy's father as he recalled how IMPD broke the news to him Saturday morning. ”There’s only one reason a chaplain comes to your house. Somebody’s dead.”

Police have initially ruled the infant’s death as “accidental…unknown causes.”

Jackson Senior doesn’t believe it.

”This ain’t the first time one of her children has died.”

Alexandria Jones told FOX59 News she called 911 after discovering her baby wasn’t breathing and performed CPR.

The mother said she handed the child to a teenage cousin at 10 p.m. Friday to feed and put to bed so that she could lay down with her other children and she didn’t check on her son until seven hours later.

Jones insisted the baby’s death, “was not intentional,” and, “he was not in my custody.”

The 26-year-old mother of four remaining children already faces trial on three felonies related to the death of her one-year-old daughter Kalimah Hernandez in November of 2020.

Those charges include Neglect of a Dependent Resulting in Death.

Before his son’s birth, Jackson and his wife began custody proceedings.

”We did everything to try to prevent any of this from happening,” said Brittany Jackson. ”I talked to DCS and they said, ‘We don’t have a case against her so we’re not just going to take the baby.’”

Jackson said he pled his case to Jones’ criminal court judge who told him he didn’t have jurisdiction to remove the child from his mother’s care.

”Nobody took me seriously when I said I feared for my son’s life,” said Jackson. ”And I said, ‘What am I supposed to do? Wait for her to murder my son?’”

There is no evidence the child was murdered, but his death still leaves a hole in Jackson’s life.

Jones told FOX59 News that Jackson was not allowed to visit his son for the two months he was alive because Jackson had a No Contact Order filed against Jones after her arrest for allegedly battering his 12-year-old daughter during a confrontation that Jones claimed was self-defense.

Indy mother investigated twice in 3 years for deaths of her children

“We did everything to try to prevent this from happening” Mr. Jackson, had you been more cautious and waited before you impregnated Ms. Jones you could have avoided this! She is able to reproduce, but being a responsible, loving parent, with her first concern on the wellbeing of her children, not so much!
