According to a Thomasville Police Department press release, detectives arrested Shanda Comer Robinson, 39, of 209 Arthur Drive Apt. E, and charged her with felonious child abuse for leaving her infant daughter alone with a man who threw the little girl to the floor because she was crying.
“She’s the natural mother, and the district attorney’s office felt she was just as guilty for leaving the child in his care,” Capt. James Mills said. “Being the child was assaulted, she is being charged as well.”
Jeremy Jordan, 32, of the same address, had already been arrested and charged with child abuse after he called EMS workers following the assault. Jordan is not the child’s natural father but was tending to the girl while her mother was at work. Mills said Jordan was unemployed and detectives are trying to determine just how stable he is.
“[Jordan] lost his temper over a crying child,” said Mills. “He picked the child up and threw her on a concrete floor. The child sustained a skull fracture from it. She is still listed in critical but stable condition.”
Jordan and Robinson were issued $500,000 and $250,000 bonds, respectively. Robinson is scheduled to appear in Thomasville District Court on Nov. 20. Mills said Jordan, other than a few charges for failing to appear, doesn’t have a criminal background.
