Crying baby in filthy apartment leads to woman’s arrest

FORT WALTON BEACH — A 20-year-old woman was arrested and charged with child abuse Thursday, the day after deputies found a 7-month old baby alone and crying in her filthy apartment.

The baby girl was strapped in a car seat, wearing a diaper overflowing with urine and fecal matter, according to an Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office offense report.

The neighbor who called police said she had seen Jennifer D’Silva leave her Beverly Street apartment at about 5:30 Tuesday evening and had not seen her return.

The woman said she went outside her apartment at about 7:30 Wednesday morning and heard the baby crying. She said she knocked, but when no one answered she called for help.

The deputy was also unable to get anyone to answer. When the property manager unlocked the apartment, the deputies could smell “a strong odor of fecal matter and decay,” according to the report.

Inside, he saw the baby lying strapped in a car seat with no top on, partially covered with a bed sheet that appeared to be blood-stained. The car seat was on the floor in front of the TV and surrounded by dirty diapers, trash, empty rash ointment bottles and dirty wipes.

The rest of the apartment was in a similar state of disarray.

The deputy who changed the baby’s diaper noticed that she had a rash and blisters in her vaginal area, some of which were open.

The baby was taken to the Children’s Advocacy Center for a medical examination, where doctors said the baby’s head was misshapen and she has a weak muscular structure, possibly from being restrained in a car seat for extended periods of time.

The baby also had a rash, blisters and a yeast infection caused by urine burns and fecal matter, the report said.

Investigators accessed D’Silva’s Myspace page and found numerous photos of her hanging out at what appear to be clubs and parties, despite the fact that she is underage.

Some of the dates and comments coincided with times that the neighbor told police she had heard the baby crying, but did not see D’Silva’s car parked outside.

The neighbor said she had started to watch D’Silva after noticing that the woman left frequently but never took the baby with her.

Police recognized D’Silva’s “partner” from her Myspace page and found the woman’s address. They arrested D’Silva there Thursday.

She told them she would not talk with them until she had talked to her lawyer. She was fingerprinted and her Myspace documentation was entered into evidence, the report said.

I cannot even begin to imnagine the filth and squalor this innocent baby had to live with. There are so many children who need to be rescued from their parents it’s not even funny. A 20 year old girl, out partying, while her child is strapped to a car seat in an apartment. How barbaric is that. It’s easy to see that no father of the baby was around, either, of course. I am too disgusted to even repeat the childed mantra “It’s different when it’s your own” because as far as I can see, this woman does not deserve to have children on any level. Hopefully the baby will recover from her rashes, blisters, be cleaned up properly, given the proper nutrition, and placed in a proper home where she can be cared for and nurtured.
