But, the aunt was freaking out when she called 911. I feel sorry for the five year old who first discovered Janiyah dead, and his father (heard on the 911 call -- he's the aunt's adult son).
Warning: This audio is disturbing.
The 911 operator pissed me off at the start of the call, very cold and dismissive sounding. But, she couldn't have known that the aunt had just seen the body of Janiyah in a pool of blood on her kitchen counter. The baby had been stabbed multiple times in the face and decapitated.
It turns out that when police got to the house, they found the baby's mother Deasia Watkins covered with blood and sleeping in one of the bedrooms. She was catonic and still hasn't spoken.
Police did the right thing when they put Deasia on a psych hold 2 months ago. It seems doctors did the right thing by prescribing the Risperdal. The judge did the right thing removing Janiyah from Deasia following the postpartum diagnosis.
Too bad the mother apparently didn't keep taking the anti-psychotic and was either allowed to be around the baby or sneaked into her aunt's house and that she wasn't monitored closely after release (or kept much longer). That poor baby died a horrendous death.
Hair, thanks for the video; that is just heartbreaking. I had trouble understanding everything, but toward the last it sounded like the Aunt who was sobbing asked "how did she get into the house?" Did i hear that correctly. Apparently family didn't even know mother was in the house as it said that police found bloodied mother asleep in one of the bedrooms. I may have just misconstrued everything, but dang, what a tragic thing to happen and to hear that utter despair in their voices.....
