The baby's parents, Jakob Scott and Caylin Monroe, repeatedly failed to feed their son properly or get him medical help, despite their concerns for his health and being told by DCS to keep a feeding log, an affidavit alleges.
Jakob C. Scott, 22, and Caylin O. Marie Monroe, 23, are accused of repeatedly failing to feed the baby properly or get him medical treatment, despite their concerns for his health and being told by the Indiana Department of Child Services to keep a feeding log, according to a probable cause affidavit filed April 26.
As police were speaking with the couple, a medic said a doctor gave instructions to stop the resuscitation because the baby couldn't be revived. Detectives and the Warrick County Coroner's Office later arrived at the scene and the baby was pronounced dead. She also told police she thought her son might have an underlying condition but she did not have the time to find a new pediatrician, the affidavit alleges.
Monroe also said she was too busy with other things to call a doctor, relied on Scott to help with the baby and expected more help from her support system.
