Mother indicted for murder in death of baby daughter
December 24, 2007
SALEM, Mass.A Peabody woman who twice regained custody of her 9-month-old daughter has now been charged in the apparent shaking death of the baby.
Prosecutors say 37-year-old Jennifer Ward was arrested Friday after a grand jury returned a murder indictment.
The baby, Jocelyn Ward Anderson, died at Children's Hospital in Boston last month. The Essex County District Attorney's office said the cause of death was determined to be abusive head trauma.
State Department of Social Services spokesman Richard Nangle said the agency took custody of the baby shortly after birth in February when both mother and daughter tested positive for drugs.
Ward regained custody after agreeing to outpatient therapy, but Nangle says the baby was again removed by the DSS after a report of neglect.
Ward regained custody of the baby a second time after completing a drug treatment and parenting education program.
