A 21-year-old Michigan woman is accused of fatally injuring an infant boy who died after initially surviving injuries.
Kimora Launmei Hodges, 21, is currently charged with child abuse in the first degree, but officers said they are working with prosecutors for upgraded charges, according to WDIV. The child, identified by his mother as Kyrie, initially survived his injuries, but the Roseville Police Department announced Wednesday that he has died.
“He’s only 1 and he knows how to count to 5,” mother Taylor Starks said before her son’s death, according to a WJBK report. “It’s been a week but it feels like forever.”
Authorities have said Kyrie was 11 months old.
Officers said they were called out to a hospital on June 14 regarding a child suffering severe head trauma, according to The Detroit News. Starks called police, saying she picked up her son from a neighbor babysitting the infant while the mother was at work. The babysitting arrangement continued on and off for the past two months.
That fateful night, the babysitter allegedly said the boy did not seem normal. The mother called 911, and medics brought the child and the mother to the hospital. Doctors performed emergency surgery.
Starks told WJBK she got a text about the way Kyrie was sleeping. Hodges, she said, claimed the child ate soap and developed an allergic reaction. Starks said she rushed home to find Kyrie having multiple seizures.
“Once I made it there my baby was on the ground having seizure, after seizure, after seizure,” she said.
Starks said she believed Hodges’ story. That changed.
“He had blunt force trauma to the head and he was bleeding out his ears and had to have immediate brain surgery,” she said. “All I know is she threw my son into the wall and shook him up pretty bad and they said that’s just a bit of what she did to him.”
Kyrie had no brain activity at the hospital, she said.
Starks described Hodges as a trusted babysitter and a friend, according to WJBK.
“I’m only 18,” she said. “I don’t have a mom or a dad. It’s just me and my baby. I’m hurt. I’m so hurt she did this to me. I would have never done this to her and her baby.”
Starks’ GoFundMe campaign raised $18,877 of a $17,500 goal.
Investigators reportedly determined the child was injured some time between 3:30 p.m. and midnight on June 13 while Hodges was taking care of him.
After being taken into custody, Hodges admitted abusing the boy, authorities said.
“Very cooperative and very regretful remorseful for her actions,” Roseville Police Chief Ryan Monroe said of Hodges. “But it obviously doesn’t take it back.”

So, I guess BLM only when they are killed for resisting arrest after having committed a crime, “RIGHT”? When they are taken murderously by their own it is hidden from “Lamestream” propagandists of the Left – such hypocrites they are and the sheeple of the Left buy into their propaganda, the fools that they are!
All races and creeds commit murder, atrocities, what ever the name applied to it…but as far as the this BLACK LIVES MATTER (BLK) sarcastic comment…where one want to take away the validity of this specific issue …of its real content; but…(less the good ones…who wasn’t goin to have organized slavery) The all of them in it together; jealous, history lacking cultural rapist, lying, conniving Europeans; who organized and instituted a particularly cruel form of slavery…for example…making book covers out of our skin, burying men in the sand and playing golf with their heads, sodomizing boy children of interest, and the list goes on. Black people have been used and abused in Africa as well as the United States. For starters… read up on “KING LEOPOLD” and the Congo. Former President Trump referred to Africa as a shit hole…forgetting about what the Germans and descendants of them and their admixtures stole and did, and still do to African people. The sad thing is …after all this acclamation we are loosing in our nature, what we use to deem as TABOO. We are loosing our minds. However, I am appreciative the USA anti Lynching Act, though just signed…Thank God is official 2022.🤔 Yea BLM.
To bad they can not do to her what she did to the baby,bible eye for eye tooth for tooth punishment should be eaqual to damages.
