Shalyne Brown, 25, remains held without bond on second-degree murder and first- and second-degree child abuse charges in connection with the death of her 3-year-old child last year, according to Howard County police.
The charges stem from the death of her 3-year-old child in November, when officers were called to a house for a report of an unresponsive child who had multiple bruises and scars.

Police said an autopsy conducted in March indicated the death was a homicide as a result of dehydration and malnourishment.

Police said detectives investigated and determined Brown was responsible for the child's death due to neglect and abuse.

From December 18, 2024
 
During an interview with investigators, Brown explained that she stayed at home with the 3-year-old and is the only one who cares for him.

Brown explained that the night before the 911 call, she got the 3-year-old victim out of a cot that he was sleeping in and put him in bed with her to sleep.

On November 1, 2024, Brown said she fed the 3-year-old victim dry cereal and water in his highchair at some point between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m.

Brown told investigators that she had fallen back asleep between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. and woke back up at about 1 p.m. She noted that the 3-year-old victim was making noise and was in his highchair.

At around 1:40 p.m., Brown said she got up to check on the three-year-old because she didn't hear him. She then described seeing the child victim "slumped to his right side and unresponsive".

Documents state Brown ran the 3-year-old victim to the bathroom across the hallway and removed his clothing, splashed water on his face in an attempt to revive him, and brought him back to a conscious state. Then Brown's boyfriend's mother was called in to dial 911.

When responders arrived and spoke with Brown about the child's medical history, she said the three-year-old victim suffered from seizures about a year ago when he had a high fever/temperature.

She went on to say that her son was possibly autistic; however, he hasn't been diagnosed by a doctor.

Brown told officers her son likes to "play outside and likes to ride bikes" and has no balance issues.

When detectives asked about the bruises, Brown said she hadn't seen the bruises and "…honestly don't know because I don't abuse my child— his hair covered a lot."

Investigators went on to describe how Brown said she "pops" the three-year-old victim when she disciplines him. Brown clarified that she uses an open hand and strikes him on the arm or the leg and advised that she doesn't cause bruising.

She gave the child dry cereal and water what in the ghetto hell:arghh:
 
She left him in a highchair anywhere from 3.5-7 hours and the 3 year old just hung out in there?!? And what the hell does “boyfriend’s mother was called in to call 911?” Bitch couldn’t call herself? Called in from where? Moron, I love how she doesn’t think leaving him strapped in a highchair for hours on end isn’t abuse in and of itself.
 
Officers noticed the boy had several scars on the sides of his hips that were consistent with the highchair strap being placed around his skin.

"There was dried food and possibly vomit on the seat portion," detectives noted about the highchair.

The child also had "a large bruise, burn, or scab on the top of his forehead."
Police described the room in which Brown and the child lived as smelling like feces.

Inside that same room, investigators discovered "multiple food containers that appeared to have mold/ old food in them at various stages of rot."
When asked about the marks left on her child's body, Brown said she "honestly don't know," adding that her child often banged his head.

While denying that she ever abused her son, Brown did admit to "popping" the child when carrying out discipline, but not in a way that would leave bruising. According to Brown, she never observed any bruising anyway because the child's hair covered it up.

Brown and her son lived on Hickory Log Circle at her boyfriend's mother's house.
Two days before the boy died, Brown's boyfriend told police that he recommended taking the child to the ER because something was wrong.

Brown apparently agreed, but the couple never did take the child to the hospital.
The boyfriend and Brown each believed the child had Autism, although he was not officially diagnosed, due to having no primary care doctor.

Both mentioned how the child was unable to use real words, instead making sounds to indicate what he needed.

In their autopsy report, the Medical Examiner concluded "the three-year-old victim was a child who was completely dependent on adults as his sole source of nourishment and care, the manner of death is certified as Homicide."

The Beastie is going to blame the boyfriend... He had knowledge the boy was suffering and needs to be arrested.

I also would be okay with his mama being arrested as well...If your house smells like feces and you are not the cause of it you want to look into why it smells.
