A man from Georgia has been sentenced to 50 years in prison for attempting to kill his newborn daughter. Curtis Jack was found guilty of poisoning his infant by adding antifreeze to her milk bottle. The incident, which took place in October of 2020, was reported by People magazine. Jack had obtained the antifreeze from the breastmilk that the baby's mother had given to him. At the time, the child was only 18 days old and was under the care of her grandmother and aunt as her mother was still in the hospital after giving birth.
The caretakers quickly became aware of the baby's severe reaction to the milk and rushed her to the hospital the following day. It was there that she tested positive for ethylene glycol, a chemical commonly found in automotive antifreeze. According to experts at Medline Plus, this chemical can cause serious damage to the brain, lungs, and kidneys and can even lead to organ failure and death.
Following an investigation by the South Fulton police, Jack was identified as the main suspect and an arrest warrant was issued. During his detainment, Jack confessed to the crime and revealed that he had also pressured the baby's mother, who he knew from work, to terminate her pregnancy.
Fortunately, the child did survive the poisoning and is now three years old. Her biological father's trial concluded with a guilty conviction after testimonies from her family members and medical experts. These experts explained how easy it was for Jack to commit such a heinous act. The South Fulton police expressed their gratitude to District Attorney Fani Willis for ensuring justice for the child. They also thanked the Fulton County District Attorney's Office for their efforts in obtaining justice for the victim and her mother.
Jack was found guilty on all charges, including criminal attempt to commit murder and cruelty to children in the first degree. He has been sentenced to 50 years in prison, with 40 of those years to be served in custody. This case is reminiscent of another tragic incident in Kansas City, where a mother is facing felony charges after allegedly putting her infant daughter in an oven, resulting in her death. These devastating events serve as a reminder of the importance of protecting and cherishing innocent lives.
