Investigators said new information has led to charges against a mother of a toddler who died last year.
A grand jury has indicted a Howard County woman on child abuse charges that stem from 2010 involving her toddler, Elijah Izale LaJeuness.
Joaquinia Marie LaJeuness, 28, of Columbia, was indicted last week on two counts of second-degree child abuse, second-degree assault, a contributing course of conduct contributing to abuse, and obstructing and hindering charges, police said.

On April 13, officers were called at 4 a.m. to the 9600 block of Basket Ring Road, where they found Elijah was not breathing. The 3-year-old was taken to Howard County General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
A final autopsy report released in June ruled the cause of death asphyxiation and the manner homicide. No one has been charged in that case.
