Aaliyah (ah-lee-ah) Jack, the Lake Charles mother who abandoned her four-year-old son who was found dead behind a Welcome Center in Vinton Monday, and her infant son found crawling from a ditch along I-10 Tuesday will receive charges for second-degree murder and cruelty to a juvenile. Calcasieu Parish Sheriff Stitch Guillory says the case moved swiftly when they found the elder child in the water and sent out a release asking local media to help them identify the child. He says it was then the paternal grandmother of the children who called from Texas fearing who it was, and she also told them about the infant.
