Toledo woman charged in infant’s death

WILLISTON, Ohio — UPDATE: A Toledo woman charged in the death of an infant who was left in a car for several hours Wednesday appeared in court Thursday.

Naiya Parker, 24, faces charges of involuntary manslaughter, a first degree felony, and child endangerment, a second degree felony, in the death of the infant.

A judge Thursday set bond a $1 million bond. If Parker is able to make bond, the judge ordered that she must wear an ankle monitor. 

Her next court appearance is scheduled for Aug. 25. 

Parker is accused of leaving an approximately four-month-old child in a car in Williston, Ohio, for several hours Wednesday, the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office said in a press release Wednesday.

Sheriff’s deputies and the Allen-Clay Joint Fire District were dispatched to Main Street in Williston after a business on the street called 911 to report an unresponsive child. The child was found to be unresponsive by emergency crews and taken to the hospital, where it was later pronounced dead.

Further investigation is pending, according to the sheriff’s office.
