'I've seen wild animals take better care of their babies': Parents of starved 4-month-old girl booked for murder

Police in Louisiana arrested and charged parents of a 4-month-old girl with second-degree murder and cruelty to juveniles after finding an infant dead inside Angel Taylor and Chevy Lafountain's trailer.

Inside a squalid Louisiana trailer, police say drug-addled parents Angel Taylor and Chevy Lafountain starved their 4-month-old baby girl to death while also neglecting their 1-year-old son so severely, it mystified a local sheriff as to how the toddler managed to survive.

Taylor, 24, and Lafountain, 31, were arrested on Aug. 1 and charged with second-degree murder, neglect, and child abuse.

Taylor and Lafountain’s 13-month-old son also lived in the home. Like his now-deceased sister, Tregre said the boy had been severely neglected. As he spoke to reporters on Tuesday, Tregre’s shock was palpable.

“Both admitted that they treated the children poorly and [Chevy Lafountain] blamed everyone but himself,” Tregre said.

Lafountain blamed the dealers who sold him his drugs, Tregre said, and the mother chalked up her neglect to not knowing she was passing out for hours at a time.

“Just to see a child deteriorate that way, it’s hard,” Tregre said.

A judge set the couple’s bonds at $600,000. They must put up the full amount of money in order to get out of jail.

*I had to stop coming to this forum for awhile. I was becoming so intense in reading about these poor little children who never deserve the pain and suffering. I had to break the focus. I‘ve returned and find I still hate humans like these parents.

Wonder if these beautiful babies were born in hospitals. Generally that is the first launch of safety net if/when staff perceive a substance abuse problem, which they often do. How did the social rescue net not work here … How did this case slip through?

NOTE: the children featured on his insta are not the ones involved in this case. So apparently this guy has a number of children.
