Charity Bailey Murdered Her Daughter; Likes To Breed

INDIANAPOLIS — One month after being placed back in the custody of her biological mother, 3-year-old Tajanay Bailey was dead. She had been beaten and tortured to death by her mother, Charity Bailey and her boyfriend Lawrence Green, both 20. Over the course of Thanksgiving week, while you spent time with family and friends, they are accused of hanging Tajanay in a closet for wetting herself, kneeing Tajanay in the head, punching her in the chest and whipping her with a belt. Police said they and paramedics were called to Bailey’s apartment, an apartment that was in squalor, after Tajanay stopped breathing. The girl was pronounced dead at a hospital about 30 minutes later.

Tajanay had been in with a foster mother, Janice Springfield, for most of her life. Tajanay’s foster mother warned the state’s child welfare system that the girl would be in danger in Bailey’s custody. The girl and her 6-month-old brother had been removed from Bailey twice before. Once for medical neglect, and a second time for child abuse. Regardless, she was removed from Janice and placed back with Bailey who was about to lose them both again after she failed a drug test. The Indiana Department of Child Services is now reviewing the caseworkers’ handling of Tajanay. Bailey and Green were both charged with murder and neglect and are both blaming the other. Bailey’s 6-month-old son was placed into state custody and prosecutors want the same thing to happen to Bailey’s unborn baby as well. That’s right, she’s pregnant again.
