A tragedy that has shocked the entire community came to light this week in Cleveland, Ohio, where a 16-month-old baby died after allegedly being abandoned for more than a week by her own mother, who went on vacation to Michigan.
The incident occurred in a modest apartment on the city’s east side, where authorities found the lifeless body of little Janiya Thompson on Monday afternoon. The baby was alone, unsupervised and in deplorable condition. According to the preliminary police report, the mother, identified as 21-year-old Kristen Jones , had locked her daughter in the apartment on March 18 to go on vacation with her partner, returning only nine days later.
