The mother of a 2-month-old girl has been charged with aggravated manslaughter of a child after the baby's death earlier this year.

  • 2-month-old Xzayla Harris died in Lakeland in May
  • Brittany Harris, 24, will be extradited back to Florida
  • Police say mom had meth, cocaine, alcohol in system
The Lakeland Police Department said the incident occurred in May, but the mother wasn't arrested until recently because she had fled to Michigan.

Brittany Harris, 24, has been taken into custody and will be extradited back to Florida, police said Wednesday.

Officers responded May 27 to a home on Baird Avenue after receiving a report of an unresponsive child.

Harris, according to police, was drinking that night and left the child, Xzayla Harris, with a babysitter while she went to a strip club in Hudson. When the mother returned home, the babysitter left, police said.

"A friend of Harris later checked on Harris and found her in bed with Xzayla tightly wrapped in a blanket and between the legs of Harris," police said in a news release.

The friend called for help and got Xzayla away from the mother, but the child died hours later at Lakeland Regional Health.

Detectives said Harris admitted to being intoxicated and "not having a plan" to care for the child after the babysitter left.

A toxicology report about the mother showed she had methamphetamine, cocaine and alcohol in her system hours after the baby's death, police said.

wow, what a world. since when do you need a plan to not kill an infant?
i have a child coming (my first!!! <3 ) in july, and now that i think of it, i can say i already have my plan/checklist in place. it goes a lil sumthin like this:
in no particular order
1) love my baby
2) keep them safe from harm
) get my 3 key fixed on my laptop lol
4) give my baby a name that won't cause them ridicule
5) make them happy as a clam.

nowhere in there did i ever think making a baby burrito and shoving it back between my legs would be a good idea.

need to keep yr child contained? maybe you shoulda just bought SOME drugs and a damn crib instead.
 
... there's a difference between not having a plan and killing an infant. :punch:

Spay this bitch.
 
I'm a cosleeping mom, and if I indulge in more than a drink, I either stay out for the night or keep the damn sitter all night!!! Idiot
 
When the baby is so tiny, you could easily use a dresser drawer or a sturdy cardboard box as a crib. In Scandinavia, they give all parents leaving the hospital a sturdy cardboard box to use for baby's bed if needed.

If the hospital gives it to the parents it’s obviously safe, but my first reacation to a cardboard box crib was WTF. I feel like the cardboard box crib would get you arrested or checked by CPS, at least in the US.
