SAN ANTONIO, TX – A woman charged in her daughter’s death told police she didn’t call 911 for her dying daughter because her cell phone was low on minutes.
According to reports, 34-year-old Jessica Briones brought her 4-year-old daughter, Olivia, to a San Antonio police substation with severe head trauma.
She told officers that her daughter fell and hit her head four days ago but was now vomiting and would not wake up.
When asked why didn’t she call 911 immediately, Briones allegedly stated she couldn’t find her cell phone and that she was low on minutes.
Olivia would die the next day at the hospital, where doctors would find the girl had suffered injuries that were not consistent with a fall.
Along with multiple brain bleeds and severe brain swelling, Olivia also had a swollen nose, eight scars on the back of her head, a black eye, deflated left lung, a fractured vertebrae, a swollen wrist and two swollen arms, a bruised ankle and detached tissue in her upper lip from her gums.
Despite having injuries consistent with being tossed off a cliff, Briones said she did not know where all those injuries came from — that all she had done was accidentally slammed the girl’s arm in a door.
Briones was arrested on suspicion of causing injuries to a child, but charges could be upgraded once and actual cause of death has been determined.
