Jessica L. Moss, 43, of Tipton, is jailed on one count of neglect of a dependent resulting in death. Online court records do not list an attorney who could speak on her behalf.
The Kokomo Tribune reported an infant boy Moss was caring for died May 26. An autopsy found the child suffocated after being placed face-down to sleep.
Moss told officers she found the child not breathing about 20 minutes after placing him face-down in a crib.
Moss was later ordered to close her daycare because she had been caring for more than five children unrelated to her and needed a license.
