A woman whose toddler was allegedly murdered by her boyfriend ignored burns on the boys body and continued to allow the man to babysit her four children at their Englewood neighborhood home, according to prosecutors.
Dominique Smith, 24, has been charged with felony child endangerment, according to Chicago Police. On Monday, Cook County Judge Adam Bourgeois ordered her held on a $250,000 bond. Dantis Porter has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of 1-year-old Johnny Kimble...
On Dec. 23, when Smith came back to the home in the 1100 block of West Marquette Road, Johnny had burns on his legs, prosecutors said. But Smith, despite urging from relatives, did not take the boy to the hospital. Instead, she left her children alone with Porter again on Dec. 25, and this time when she got home Johnny had new burns on his torso from a space heater in the home, prosecutors said.
