Baby Suffocated to Death as Police Investigate Her 14-Yr Old Mother for Homicide

A newborn baby has been suffocated to death and her death has been ruled a homicide.  The 3-week old baby girl was found to be unresponsive in her Chicago home. No arrests have been made, but child welfare authorities are investigating the baby’s mother and grandmother.

Emonie Beasley-Brown died of suffocation, according to the official coroner’s report for the Cook County Medical Center in Chicago.  The girl’s 14-year old mother had been reported missing at the time of the child’s death.

When police arrived at the home, occupants would not allow officers into the house.  The baby was held in a crawl space with her mother covered to keep her from crying, according to police.  The baby’s mouth was covered for 10 minutes, leading her to cry even more.  That led to the person “placing both hands over her face and applied pressure for about 20 minutes,’’ according to a police report.

The baby’s nose started bleeding after she’d been suffocated.  The person took the baby to an ally and handed her off to someone else.  That’s when a call was made to 911.  When paramedics arrived on the scene, the baby was dead.

The child was taken to the hospital and her mother was taken away in a police car.   The child died from “prolonged cardiac arrest” and a lack of oxygen to the brain.

    People think because they don’t see the wrath of God immediately they can continue to do stupid evil stuff and get away with it, we are talking about a human being that could not fend for themselves and this is sad when you have grown people around that let this go down.

    When you find children raising children things like this will happen. A fourteen year old having a baby. Someone should have taken charge of the child, who knows what the mother was doing?

    Everyone in the house acting suspicious should of been taking to jail and interrogated until the whole story came out. At 14 you know right from wrong, she knew how to go out there and open her legs and have s*x, so she should be held accountable. My 7 year old heard me talking about this and he asked me “who killed a baby” like he was in shock. The other people who helped hide or cover the crime up needs to charged as an accessory.

      In a household like that, it’s quite possible that she didn’t ” go out there and open her legs and have s*x”. And was raped or molested in her own home.

    This is one reason why I will never support the elimination of the death penalty. Yes, I believe this little s**t, deserves the death penalty, if she is found guilty. Her age, has nothing to do with this. She was old enough to spread her d**n legs, so she is old enough to receive the penalty for 1st degree murder, and please, I don’t want to hear anything about she is a product of her environment, or post slavery trauma. If she did it, then she should be executed. That poor baby, deserved a better, and longer life.

      The baby is dead. If the death penalty is ordered, the mother will die. What will that solve?

      @ Moonhead, the story doesn’t say why she was put in a crawl space with the baby in the first place. It said that the occupants wouldn’t let the oficers in. You don’ know if this was a drug house or what! They may have told her to keep that baby quiet or she and the child would be harmed! Her efforts to make sure the child didn’t utter a sound and then the actions of the occupants handing the baby to someone else in an alley tells me she was following directions given to her by someone else! Come on, we are to quick to judge, that could have been her father’s, uncles, mothers boyfriend, or even brothers child! Someone didn’t want the officres in that house or that baby discovered! And the fact that she was trying to PROTECT it by trying to keep it quiet tells me she was afraid for the infant and herself. Yes she did kill the child, but lets not judge her until after her trail and you have heard the evidence!

    This is the best argument yet for children not having children.

    Lock up the mother and grandmother. Why would a 14 yr. girl have a baby? For the check. I hate low life’s and these people are low life’s. African-Americans have become so immoral. All fought for in the 30s-60s is lost to a no account generation.
