Jennifer is a children’s book author who wrote the book “A Real Friend”

According to the WFTV, when the authorities found their children were imprisoned and abused in their Casselberry home, they immediately arrested them. Now both the parents face serious neglect and abuse charges.

The author was arrested on New Year's day

She was arrested on New Year’s day after her husband arrived at the hospital with one of the children. Soon after her arrest, she was released but then was arrested again on Tuesday. 

Jennifer was charged with false imprisonment

Their 8-year-old child was admitted to the hospital in serious condition. The minor was suffering from many conditions including pneumonia, a staph infection, and liver failure. Besides this, the child was also malnourished, had bruises, skin infections, and open wounds, according to an arrest report obtained by the outlet.

According to the reports, the child was “critically ill”

Jennifer told the child’s injuries were a result of falling which was not true. The kid is in the hospital while the other two children were put in foster care.

Jennifer was jailed without a bond and will no longer be able to deceive people with her kind words

Jennifer, 41, and her husband, 39, are both in jail now for allegedly locking their children in their rooms for days and weeks. The kids were not given a bath for days and were given little food, the arrest report states.

Jennifer was being held without a bond while her husband was jailed on a $210,000 bond.
