Staten Island Infant’s Death Leads to Parental Arrest for Reckless Endangerment

A one-month-old baby boy was tragically found dead in an apartment on Staten Island last Saturday, according to sources who spoke with FOX 5 news. The heartbreaking discovery led authorities to arrest both parents of the infant as they face charges for reckless endangerment. At approximately 7 a.m., emergency responders were called to an address at 240 Broadway in West Brighton where they found the newborn unconscious and unresponsive with visible signs of trauma on his left arm. The Medical Examiner is currently conducting investigations into how exactly this innocent child lost his life. Leonard Thompson, aged thirty-eight, and Jenice Lightfoot, aged thirty-six, have been taken into custody by law enforcement officials in connection to the tragic case.
