The child was left with Julie Jack at an apartment at 7301 East Brainerd Road by its mother, Jennifer Bruce. In a release, police said Ms. Jack, without the permission of the mother, “left the infant with an adult who could not properly care for the baby.”
“It was tragic, and I don’t want to relive it right now,” said a woman who answered the apartment door Thursday afternoon, but would not identify herself.
Ms. Jack is due to appear in Hamilton County General Sessions Court on May 21, according to court records. As of Thursday evening, she was still in Hamilton County Jail, according to records.
The same records show that Ms. Jack, booked under the last name Haskins, has been charged with public intoxication, alcohol violation, theft of property and theft under $500 from incidents dating between 1997 and 2008.
