When Shana Heath walked into her daughter’s bedroom on Tuesday afternoon, she expected to find her daughter, Jazmyn Heath, and Jazmyn’s 8-month-old daughter there. However, instead she found her infant granddaughter abandoned in a Pack-N-Play portable crib “with a large blanket wrapped around her face. The infant was resting in a soiled diaper and was profusely sweating,” according to an affidavit filed by city police, who were dispatched about 8:45 p.m. to where the mother-daughter and granddaughter all live.

The grandmother had left for work about 9 a.m., leaving the 18-year-old Jazmyn and granddaughter at the house, police said. Upon returning about 12:30 p.m., Shana Health saw no sign of her daughter or granddaughter, believing the two were asleep in Jazmyn’s room, the affidavit stated. She became concerned three hours later and went into her daughter’s bedroom only to find the infant alone, police said.

The grandmother called the county’s Children and Youth Services to “report her daughter’s child neglect and spoke with a caseworker. The caseworker said she would speak with a supervisor and would call back,” police said. However, the grandmother said she never heard back, and the agency did not notify police “to report” the alleged neglect. Jazmyn Hearth returned home about 8:30 p.m. “heavily intoxicated with alcohol,” court documents stated. The teenage mother told police she left “her baby in a Pack-N-Play about 10 a.m., ‘figuring that someone would care for the child’ while she went to a friend’s house to drink,” it was stated in the affidavit.
