Mom Who Didn’t Feed Baby Didn’t Show up to Court

Remember Jennifer Bahn, the mom who was like “Oh, babies need to EAT? Shit, I thought you just had to water them.”?

Well, looks like she was supposed to come to court because the state kinda agrees with mother nature that feeding your baby should be a required responsibility of a parent. 

Except, she TOTALLY forgot about that, too.

And her dad is a douche.

A woman charged with assault for the malnutrition of her infant was arrested by deputy sheriffs Wednesday while hiding in her father’s Bethlehem home more than a month after she failed to show in court for the case, according to court records.

Jennifer A. Bahn, 32, was wanted on a bench warrant for failing to appear July 20 on charges related to the “extreme malnutrition” of her infant daughter. A doctor testified that the baby’s condition and poor diet could have led to life-threatening problems.

A county sheriff found Bahn around 1:30 p.m. Wednesday in a locked bedroom in her father’s home at 69 W. Garrison St., according to court records. Bahn’s father, Daniel Lau, is charged with hindering apprehension and obstruction of justice.

According to court records:

Lau told Northampton County Deputy Sheriff George Volpe that he hadn’t seen or spoken to Bahn in three days and repeatedly said she wasn’t inside. As they spoke, Lau stepped out onto the porch and quickly shut the door behind him.

Lau allowed Volpe to search his home, but said he couldn’t open a locked bedroom door at the rear of the home. Lau said the room belonged to Bahn.

After the door was opened, Bahn was found hiding at the end of a bed.

Lau, 59, is free on $30,000 bail. Bahn was sent to Northampton County Prison.

After Bahn didn’t attend the July hearing, charges of aggravated assault, simple assault, reckless endangerment and endangering the welfare of children were sent to Northampton County Court. Police said the infant is in the custody of the Northampton County Children and Youth Division. Source

Hmm, someone seems to think that she doesn’t have to pay for her crimes.

And, wow, I wonder if her dad’s parenting had anything to do with that because I sure as hell know that if my daughter did this I’d be like, OK, time to freakin’ pay for your crimes. I mean, YOU DIDN’T FEED YOUR KID. What other PRESSING items did you have your “To Do” list that day that didn’t include “Keep Baby Alive.”?
