Baby Dies After Falling into Bucket of Vomit
NEW YORK -- A teenage mother was arrested Thursday after police said her 3-month-old daughter fell into a bucket of vomit and died.
Savarin Dejesus, 18, left the child with a baby sitter at an East Harlem group home where she was living and then headed out for a night of partying Sept. 15, police said.
When she returned, she went to her room, set a bucket next to her bed in case she became sick and fell asleep with the baby, Niah Ford, in her arms, they said.
Dejesus vomited in the bucket that night, and later Niah tumbled out of her arms and landed in the bucket, police said.
Dejesus didn't discover what had happened to Niah until the next afternoon, they said.
Niah was taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead. It appeared she had drowned in the bucket, which was filled with water and vomit, police said.
Dejesus was charged with criminally negligent homicide and endangering the welfare of a child. She was in police custody late Thursday.
A woman who answered the telephone Thursday at the family shelter where Dejesus was staying, the Fox House, declined to comment on the baby's death.

Bail was set at $1,000. Life is cheap in New York.

"According to the criminal complaint, between 11 p.m. and midnight on Sept. 15, Ms. DeJesus left Niah in the care of a neighbor at Fox House, a shelter with 17 rooms for homeless mothers at 111 East 117th Street, before heading out on a date.
Ms. DeJesus spent the next few hours with a male companion, whose name was not released, drinking from a 20-ounce bottle filled with a mixture of soda and gin, said Suzanne G. Treibitz, an assistant district attorney.
. . . After waking up just after 2 p.m., Ms. DeJesus wandered down the hallway, then returned to her room, where she discovered Niah, cold, motionless and wet, her head down in the bucket, the prosecutor said. Ms. DeJesus pulled the baby out and screamed. Niah was taken to Mount Sinai Medical Center and pronounced dead.
. . . Ms. DeJesus’ bail was set at $1,000."
