Tragedy in Pointe Coupee Parish | Baton Rouge News

A heartbreaking tragedy unfolded in Pointe Coupee Parish when ten-month-old Alaya Jackson died after being found unresponsive on June 29. Her parents, Alaysia Carter and Joseph Jackson, were arrested nearly a month later on charges of failing to seek medical help. This isn’t their first run-in with the law—Joseph had previously reported A’laya missing in November, claiming Carter’s cousin took her, though she was later found safe and Carter was already in jail at the time. Both parents have extensive criminal histories: Joseph faces new charges including child endangerment, while Carter has prior arrests for cruelty to juveniles and battery. Authorities continue investigating the full scope of this devastating case. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
