A Kansas City mother has been charged in the gruesome death of a 1-month-old child.
Around 1:30 p.m. on Friday, the Kansas City Police Department was called to a house near 41st Street and Forest Avenue. Upon arrival, crews found an unresponsive child who was declared dead at the scene.
Detectives said the circumstances around the child’s death were suspicious enough to cause concern and they began an investigation.
On Saturday, more information was released by the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office, including charges against the infant’s mother, Mariah Thomas.
