Sentenced: Mother Covered Crying 16-Month Old's Nose & Mouth Until He Stopped Breathing

[Sugar Cookie]

Makenzie Lee Johnson, 30, who allegedly stopped her son from breathing to make him stop crying is charged with two counts each of felony second-degree attempted murder-with intent-not premeditated and felony first-degree assault-great bodily harm.

Police responded to a call of a 16-month-old male not breathing at about 6:06 p.m. on July 10. They made contact with the victim’s mother, Johnson, and provided the victim with oxygen until an ambulance arrived. The victim was transported to Mayo Clinic Health System-Austin and then to Mayo Clinic Hospital, St. Marys Campus-Rochester and was released to his parents the next day.

On July 15, law enforcement and social workers were notified that the victim was in pediatric intensive care at St. Marys Hospital for seizures and that the victim had been readmitted to the hospital on July 13 after he stopped breathing again. A hospital social worker reported that Johnson told one of the victim’s nurses the victim had been crying, so she covered his mouth and nose with her hand until he stopped breathing.

A detective and child protection worker met with Johnson at St. Marys Hospital. Johnson said she had been at home alone with the victim and another child on July 10. The victim was screaming, so she put her hand over his mouth to get him to stop. She demonstrated that she put her hand over the victim’s nose and mouth and squeezed. When he stopped breathing, she called 911. She said the police and paramedics arrived and that the victim had a pulse, but was not breathing.

Johnson said the victim was crying again on July 13 and she again put her hand over his nose and mouth to get him to stop, causing the victim to go “limp” and start having seizures, after which he was taken to the hospital. She said she put her hand over his nose and mouth “a few times to calm him down.” She said she told herself to “stop doing it” because she did not want to hurt the victim, but did it anyway, despite knowing she was hurting him.

32-year-old Makenzie Johnson has pleaded guilty to a first-degree assault charge in a child abuse case that originally had her facing attempted murder charges.

The criminal case against Johnson involves two incidents in July 2019 involving her 16-month-old son. The complaint Austin police officers responded to her home the evening of July 10 after receiving a report of a young child not breathing. An officer gave the 16-month-old boy oxygen and he was eventually brought to St. Mary's hospital for treatment and was discharged the following day.

Court records indicate that, on July 13, 2019, the toddler was admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit at St. Mary's Hospital for seizures and Johnson told the nurse that she had placed her hand over her son's mouth and nose until he stopped breathing as a way to stop him from crying. During the later interview with investigators, Johnson also admitted covering the child's mouth and nose with her hand during the July 10 incident. The criminal complaint says Johnson told investigators that she told herself to "stop doing it" because she did not want to hurt the child, but she did it anyway.

She has entered a Norgaard plea to one of the assault charges, which means she admits guilt but does not remember her actions.
