They allege her 8-month-old old baby has suffered neglect since the day of his birth.
The investigation into Haylee Kent, 21, started earlier in April when doctors at Wolfson Children's Hospital in Jacksonville began treating her child for life-threatening injuries.
According to the Baker County Sheriff's Office, the boy's grandmother took the child to the hospital, where doctors described him as gravely ill due to life-threatening starvation.
At 8-months-old, the baby had the average weight of a 2-month-old infant. In addition to severe malnourishment, the sheriff's office said the baby had previously suffered a skull fracture.

After her arrest, she allegedly told deputies that she sometimes felt annoyed over the way her baby needed to be fed, so she stopped doing it, or so the sheriff's office claims.
Kent's baby is now recovering in foster care and gaining weight. She is facing multiple counts of child neglect with and without great bodily harm. More
