CONROE, Texas — A Texas woman who spent about five years in prison for the 2011 death of her premature son has once again been accused of injuring her child, this time a baby girl she gave birth to at her mother’s home and left to drown in a toilet, according to police.

Denette Elizabeth Williams, 33, of Conroe, is charged with felony child endangerment, according to the Houston Chronicle. She is out on $50,000 bond.(snip)

In Williams’ previous criminal case, she was initially sentenced to 15 years in prison for the death of her 5-week-old son, Braylan Preston Hood. The boy was born more than a month premature on Feb. 1, 2011.

Court records indicate Braylan, who weighed 4 pounds, 5 ounces at birth, was released to his parents’ care after a week in the neonatal unit.

Just 31 days later, a then-23-year-old Williams called 911 because her son had stopped breathing. The infant was taken to Conroe Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead early the next morning.

According to the Chronicle’s coverage of Williams’ subsequent trial, the officers who went to her home were immediately suspicious because Braylan’s body showed signs of abuse.

His autopsy showed that his neck was broken, his brain was hemorrhaging and his spinal cord had been partially severed, the newspaper reported. He also had broken ribs and ligature marks on his neck and arms.(snip)

Jurors convicted Williams of first-degree felony injury to a child by omission and sentenced her to 15 years. An appeals court later lowered the conviction to a second-degree felony, reducing her sentence to 10 years, the Chronicle reported.

She was granted parole in June 2017 and is due to remain on parole until July 2022.

Some people need to be neutered or spayed before they are old enough to conceive...

It does seem that a requirement of staying on meds, called birth control pills in this case, would have been in order. Enforcement? IDK. Just tragic, but the poor baby is at least alive.

you can skip a bc pill. I’d go with something a bit stronger for a female who hurts kids like that.
JMHO.

Totally dead eyes. Where does she find men even willing to get near her? But probably they have dead eyes too.
