Bronx Man Charged After 3-Year-Old Jaylynn Evans Dies In His Care; Grandmother Pleads: 'I Just Need To Know What Happened'

Three y.o. Jaylynn Evans was supposed to be at a sleepover with a friend. She ended up at a Queens NY ER, where she was declared dead.

59 year old Anthony Richardson was the only adult at the Bronx home where his 5 year old granddaughter and Jaylynn were having a sleepover when Richardson says Jaylynn suddenly collapsed.
He is seen on neighborhood surveillance cam carrying Jaylynn's limp body from the house to put her in his car with the other child.
But then he bypasses a hospital only 1 mile away, and other hospitals till he arrives at an ER in the borough of Queens.
Jaylynn was reported as arriving unconscious and unresponsive; after 30 minutes of trying unsuccessfully to save her, she was declared dead.
Not only did Richardson drive past closer hospitals, but the 20 mile trip took more than 3 hours. Richardson even was recorded making a stop at a bodega on the way.
At no time did he call 911, or the mother of the girl.
No cause of death is reported yet; an autopsy is being done. The 59 year old male babysitter was arrested for behavior injurious to a child.

Oh my

Anthony Richardson is on parole for robbery.
He is not giving explanation for his delay getting Jaylynn to ER, and he won't talk to police anymore on advice from lawyer.

 

[crush]

Oh my

I hate to hit button that says I "like" this... But you know what I mean. I've been watching this since Thursday and when they said this morning that he made a stop at a bodega... that's when I figured time to post this.

 

[insearchoflight]

Wonder what the 5 year old had to say? I know that’s young but old enough depending upon the child to describe some things. This is very tragic.

 

[crush]

Exactly. The man (when he was talking) never mentioned the other girl. She's old enough to have a story. I couldn't even understand how he said the girls were watching tv and he went in and saw her passed out. Like the other child wouldn't be calling for help?
And he's driving around for hours, even a 5 y.o. would know thats not normal. MOO !

Two possibilities come to my mind instantly: one is that the child ingested some kind of banned substance and the GF was trying to ensure whatever was in her system dissipated before he brought her to the hospital (wrong!!) and two, the child was sexually assaulted.

I've even considered he didn't perhaps know for sure if he was going to take her to the hospital. Maybe he was thinking that he's violating parole if he gets arrested,(which happened) and you can get your parole revoked and sent back to prison to finish the rest of your original sentence.
SPECULATION!

I saw this this am..I'll try to find the link..but I read the girl's body showed no sign of trauma. Maybe she did ingest something? The autopsy will hopefully bring answers and this GF was unbelievable!!! Call 911!!! Unless your guilty of something..what is a bodega? Good points, Crush!!!

2 Men Charged in Separate Deaths of 2 NYC Children, Ages 3 and 3 Months, This Week

Note that both children have no signs of visible trauma, but one man is already charged with causing brain damage/shaken baby type death

https://[link removed]/2020/09/bron...-treatment-jaylynn-evans-covid-toddler-death/

Basically the above link says what I dreaded. That Anthony Richardson stopped at the bodega...to get a sandwich.

The reason I dreaded that is I'd tried for the last couple days to give this guy the benefit of the doubt. "Maybe she didn't seem that sick at first" but the news of the video showing her carried out of the house unconscious, the news of the timeline, then the stop at the bodega.

I told myself maybe he stopped to use the phone! Maybe he stopped to ask if someone knew CPR.
Nope.
A sandwich.

MOO

is the info about the sandwich in the xed out link?
maybe the sandwich was for the 5 year-old?
not that I'm excusing him
sicko needs to be charged with murder

Yes, I didn't know that link flaked out I'll try and get it in again.

Here's another problem:
The first interview, the man says he was making breakfast when Jaylenn went unconscious. Other interviews say it was later.
This article also said child passed out on Thursday morning.
The surveillance cam showed him leaving the house carrying her at 2. If she was unconscious at breakfast, why doesn't he take her earlier (on top of driving so far so slow)

Charges deferred for Bronx grandfather who took dying girl on two-hour ride to Queens hospital

He could have got a sandwich for the other girl... except if had gotten to the hospital in a sensible amount of time that wouldn't have been a problem.

I'm also uncomfortable with statement (paraphrase)"that's the hospital he take all the kids when something happens.
How many times is this 59 y.o. man alone watching kids and they need to go to the hospital?

Lloyd said she believes her daughter contracted COVID-19 at daycare earlier in the week, and was told by doctors that she tested positive for the virus. Charges deferred for Bronx grandfather who took dying girl on two-hour ride to Queens hospital

Tragic if this death is Covid related. Mom states that she gave her daughter fever reducer. So much for the disease not necessarily deadly for kids if this is Covid.

The medical center he took her to is Cohen's Children's Hospital, part of LIJ. It is a very well thought of hospital.

Yes, it is. But there is a pediatric hospital in the Bronx: Children's Hospital at Montefiore. It is a nationally ranked pediatric acute care hospital with the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
Personally, in an emergency with unconscious toddler who can't be revived I'll go to a fire station if it's closest. Just get baby conscious and breathing and transfer to personal choice after.
But I don't feel, IMHO, that it would have mattered. If she really came to breakfast table and collapsed, but you don't leave the house till 2pm? And then think you can go to a favorite hospital 20 miles away but it takes 3 hours?
I'm not sure what doctors wherever could do. If it was Covid-19, they might have got her on oxygen or done something quickly after her collapse.
But who knows when breakfast was?!
SPECULATION

Oh, I am with you 100%. But, I will say that Montefiore is not loved by those I know in the Bronx. It is not the nicest hospital from what I experienced when I needed some treatment (not emergency) for one of my kids. Once at a hospital you can't transfer though.

Closest is the best by far. His actions make no sense to me whatsoever. Time was of the essence in terms of increasing her survival.

I am wondering what the rest of this story is.

Thank you for sharing your personal experience/rating; I always trust word-of-mouth more than public relations.
I keep going back to Mr. Richardson being on parole. Did that cause him to try and wait it out to see if she'd improve on her own? Did he think more about the trouble he could be in than anything else? JUST SPECULATION!
Maybe he delayed and delayed then went to Queens where (for some reason) he's been taking other children? Where they'd know him?
I'm getting curious if that reference to "always takes kids there" suggests he serves as some sort of discount unlicensed childcare overnight?
The child did go to DAYcare. It's their word that a three year old decided ti go to a sleepover.
Was it s grown-up's idea? I would not let a three year old go stay over a friend's house. Too young.
Double that if even an older child was running a fever. Press interviews claim it was AR's idea that Jaylynn stay over with him and his granddaughter. I can just imagine my mom's reaction to some man almost 60 asking can your 3yearold come stay with me and my little one?

I'm thinking he knew that watching toddlers in his home on the regular wouldn't go over with a parole officer either. He waited so long to leave the house with Jaylynn, and dallied so long on the road...what was he thinking?
MOO

You are absolutely right that there are so many questions. I will say that many families I know from my work in the Bronx live in multi-generational homes or split-generational homes. It is not uncommon for grandparents to watch and care for their kids and neighbors kids.

The idea that it took so long to get her care is very disturbing. I think we will be hearing more in the coming weeks.
