A baby jammed in a shoebox amid a swarm of cockroaches, a pile of drugs and a loaded handgun was well cared for and loved, her teenage mother insisted as she was released from jail yesterday.
"I don't have a lot, but I take care of my baby," Genilla Vaughn, 19, said after a judge released her without bail and warned her to stay away from 4-day-old Jiselle, now in the custody of the Administration for Children's Services.
"I love my baby, I love her, and I'm going to fight for her," Vaughn said.
But cops searching for guns at the Bedford-Stuyvesant apartment said they saw more neglect than love.
"There was no formula and diapers," said a criminal complaint charging Vaughn with endangering the welfare of a child. "The living conditions ... were unsuitable for a child [with] piles of garbage and plastic bags cluttered all over the floors."
"The baby was in a shoebox on the floor, naked, with roaches crawling on it," Brooklyn Assistant District Attorney Nicole Chavis told a judge.
"Lies, that's all lies," said Vaughn, who said she was visiting her brother Tarik Vaughn's apartment and that the girl was in a shoebox because she was awaiting delivery of a bassinet. "She was wearing clothes, she had a diaper and socks and a blanket."
Vaughn's brother, charged with possessing an unlicensed firearm and drugs and endangering the welfare of a child, was ordered held on $20,000 bail.
[email protected]If any of you liberals out there want to pay Tarik's bail he will be more than happy to take of his sister and her baby, on second thought I think it would be super super liberal if you, Mr and Mrs liberal will take them into your home. What, no takers.
