A woman has pleaded guilty as the person who kidnapped two Ohio infants, abandoning one in an airport parking lot and leaving the other in another state to sit alone in their mother’s stolen car during a snowstorm. The first of those children later died in an apparently unrelated tragedy .
As part of the plea deal, Nalah T. Jackson, 25, faces 20 years in prison, said the U.S. Department of Justice in the Southern District of Ohio . Records show no date for the sentencing hearing.
“There is no greater responsibility than protecting our youth,” said U.S. Attorney Kenneth L. Parker. “This community watched in horror as Nalah Jackson preyed on two vulnerable babies. Today, she admitted her crime and agreed to spend 20 years in prison for her actions.”
The boys’ mother was picking up a delivery order from Donatos Pizza in Columbus, Ohio, on Dec. 19, 2022, prosecutor. She left her Honda Accord running with the children inside, and while she was out, Jackson took the still-running vehicle, authorities said.
