Philly Babysitter Hit With Abuse Charges After Child Found DeadBe careful who you let watch your kids!A 22 year old Philadelphia woman has been charged with child abuse after the toddler she watches was found dead. There is a strong possibility she could be hit with a murder charge, pending investigation.
Officers found Azim Jones-Fearon's naked and emaciated body on a bed inside a home on the 7100 block of N 15th Street Wednesday evening.
On Tuesday, police announced child endangerment, reckless endangerment and abuse of a corpse charges against Jedayah Nesmith -- the boy's 22-year-old caretaker. A judge arraigned Nesmith Friday and sent her to jail in lieu of $750,000 bail.
It was not known if anyone else could face charges in Azim's death. The boy was initially said to be 3 years old but later police revised his age to 2. -(NBC Philadelphia)
