Contributed photoChattanooga police have arrested a woman for neglecting a child that later died.
Thursday, police arrested Julie Jack on charges of aggravated child neglect, said Officer Rebecca Royval, police spokeswoman. Police allege Ms. Jack was supposed to be baby-sitting the 9-month-old child, but instead, without the permission of the child’s mother, she left the baby in the care of a person who was not able to care for the baby.
Police responded to the scene at Concord Apartments on East Brainerd Road to calls of an unresponsive child, Officer Royvall said. The child was pronounced dead at the scene.
The exact cause of death of the infant is unknown at this time, Officer Royval said. Investigators are waiting on the results of the autopsy.
