A Georgia man was charged with murder and cruelty to children in connection with the January death of his 3-month-old son.
Jerry Chambers Jr., 21, allegedly left his infant to die after finding him unresponsive and foaming at the mouth for two days, and went to a hotel with a friend.
Chambers claimed that he attempted to help his son Joshua, but an autopsy refuted his claims.
The Fulton County Medical Examiner said that the baby died from “dehydration and undernourishment due to infant neglect.” The death was ruled a homicide.
Investigators said Chambers “packed a bag”, did not render aid to his dying infant son, and waited for two days before calling 911.
Chambers was arrested on Jan 28 and booked into the Fulton County Jail on $150,000 bond.
