The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office has announced additional charges against a woman originally charged with child neglect and child abuse in her infant son’s death in December.
According to McGowan’s original arrest report, on Dec. 11. at 6:17 p.m., the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department responded to an apartment on Duval Road in reference to an unresponsive infant and quickly transferred the baby boy to UF Health, where he was pronounced dead.
When police arrived at the hospital, they learned that McGowan, who called JFRD, had left the hospital. Medical personnel also told police that the baby was in an “emaciated” state and weighed only seven pounds at death, the report said.Another officer was sent to the home on Duval Road and got written consent from McGowan to enter the home. The report said when the officer entered the apartment, there was barely any furniture.
The officer also spoke with apartment management and learned of an alleged abuse incident involving the victim and another child in the clubhouse. McGowan was caught on surveillance slamming the victim against furniture, putting blankets over the head, and continuously slapping the victim’s head, the report said. She did this in front of the other child.Police interviewed McGowan again and learned that the child was her son, but he used to live with his father.
