Homeless mother charged in baby’s death at LA shelter
Don’t you think that having a place to live ought to be a requirement of parents? I fail to see how being homeless is an acceptable lifestyle for babies and children. Shouldn’t the DCS intervene on behalf of infants and children whose parents are homeless, to assist in permament housing or foster care?
It’s no wonder this little baby starved to death. My first instinct is to question why the mother would not give the baby up for adoption:
LOS ANGELES—A homeless mother whose 7-week-old baby died of starvation, dehydration and neglect at a Skid Row shelter was charged Tuesday with child abuse.
The felony complaint seeks Ranetta Marie Maxwell’s arrest in connection with the Aug. 10 death of her daughter Jasmine, who spent her brief life with her mother at downtown’s Union Rescue Mission.
