Sentenced: Newborn Dropped Off At Detroit Hospital; Mom Charged With Assault, Abandonment

A Highland, Michigan woman has been charged with assault and abandonment of her newborn infant after the child was mysteriously dropped off at Sinai-Grace Hospital in Detroit last week.

On Sept. 10, a man reportedly pulled up to the hospital with the child and asked another person who was entering the hospital to hold the baby until he parked the vehicle. Police say the man left and never returned.

Police identified the parents of the newborn child on Sunday. It was originally unclear if they would face charges, as it is not illegal to drop off a newborn at a safe place, such as a hospital or fire station, but the baby is supposed to be given to an employee.

The child’s mother, Jennifer Kayla Woodard, 23, has been charged in the case following an investigation.

According to authorities, Woodard allegedly gave birth to the baby girl at a residence of an acquaintance, and then threw the infant into a garbage can. Officials say the acquaintance found the baby and drove her to the hospital.

The newborn baby was reportedly cold to the touch and lost a large amount of blood due to the umbilical cord not being clamped off, officials said. The baby reportedly required a blood transfusion at the hospital.

The condition of the baby has not been released.

Woodard was charged with assault with intent to murder, child abandonment and second degree child abuse.

A man said he tried to help a Highland woman, who is accused of dumping her baby in a trash can.

The man, said he found 23-year-old Jennifer Woodard, in a crisis, walking near Brightmoor. The man claims Woodard was using heroin and he tried to her help but she refused.

The man said Woodard came to his home months later expecting a baby.

“She was deciding to give it up for adoption,” the man claimed.

In recent weeks, the man said Woodard was getting excited for the baby. However, he claimed that Woodard was back on the street near Six Mile.

The man who claimed have taken the woman in said he showed her the news about the incident and received no reaction.

The Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office said Woodard allegedly gave birth to her baby in a basement of a home. The man claimed someone was with her at that time.

The baby is still in the hospital but is doing better. Woodard has been discharged from the hospital and is being held in jail.

@Sugar Cookie I know you have to paraphrase, but damn, I missed this gem from the article.

“They sat around in that basement for hours trying to figure out what to do,” he said.

This wasn't just a dumbass decision she made because she was high. This truly was attempted murder and a callous disregard for human life. Wow.

The shit people will go through to avoid a possession charge. Ridiculous.
 
Well she's obviously given up on life.

Maybe one day (hopefully not too long from now) Jennifer will end up in some dank room in an abandoned house with a fellow junkie that knows her history, who proceeds to give her a hot load so he can later bang the corpse.

That'd be karma enough for me.

Maybe the occasional 'John' she hasn't yet fucked over very much. When life on the streets gets too hard for her, a sob story and a BJ and he lets her crash on the couch rent free...
 
Woodard told a friend that she didn't want the baby. That's when prosecutors said Woodard threw the baby in the trash.

In addition to the infant being cold to the touch and needing a blood transfusion, sources said the baby girl had drugs in her system.

"No matter what, even if the baby was born not alive, like, it shouldn't have been just thrown out like that. And I'm just so thankful that somebody actually had the wherewithal to do that."

On a YouTube video that Woodard appeared in during her pregnancy, she admits to being addicted to heroin and crack cocaine.

Five years ago, Woodard's mother died from a drug overdose. Ten months later, her father also died of a drug overdose.

"And she is the one who found him," the relative said.

Right now, Detroit Police and the Wayne County Sheriff's Office do not have an arrest photo of Woodard because she was hospitalized being taken into custody.
