Angel L. Cooper, 21, was arrested Monday on three counts of neglect of a dependent. She’s being held on a $15,000 bond, pending a Monday initial hearing. Online records don’t indicate if she has an attorney who could speak on her behalf.
Court records state that a doctor determined Cooper’s infant son was severely malnourished in February and had gained only two ounces since his December birth.
Authorities also said April drug tests on a 5-year-old and 3-year-old in Cooper’s care found both had meth and THC, marijuana’s mind-altering ingredient, in their system.
All three children are now in foster care.
