Brittany White Wiki – Brittany White Biography
A 24-year-old mother was arrested for child abuse after the Springfield Police Department received a referral from a child advocate who noted a lack of pupil tracking and object tracking on the baby. Officers from the Springfield Police Department contacted Brittany White and the representative from the Gulf Coast Children’s Advocacy Center and it was decided to transport the baby to the Gulf Coast Regional Medical Center for evaluation.
An additional diagnosis of the baby is expected, which may lead to the mother facing additional charges. According to an affidavit obtained by Law & Crime, Adriana Sosa, care coordinator for the GCCAC Healthy Start program, met Brittany White on Oct. 12 when she noticed signs of abuse, which were later confirmed at a follow-up visit. Adriana and a co-worker visited Brittany’s residence on October 14 when, during their conversation, she began to cry.

Incident Detail
Brittany told them about ‘shaking’ her baby two weeks earlier because she wouldn’t stop crying. Brittany White has been charged with one count of intentional child abuse. The Springfield Police Department gave details in a press release, which said: “Officers made contact with Ms. White and representatives of the GCCAC Healthy Start Program at Ms. White’s residence. [And] The decision was made to transport the baby to Gulf Coast Regional Medical Center for evaluation.”
After the October 14 visit, Brittany also gave a videotaped confession about the incident. The affidavit stated, “She got frustrated with CL after he wouldn’t stop crying, so she grabbed his torso with both hands and shook him for a couple of seconds,” as written by SPD officer Jason Smith who arrested him. It further stated: “She described the shaking as ‘rough’ and stated that after it happened, she hugged the boy and apologized to him before putting him to bed and leaving the room.
The defendant is aware that what she did is wrong and that “shaking” a baby can cause injury and lasting damage to the child. The baby, who was two and a half months old at the time of the alleged abuse, was found to have suffered some bone fractures. According to WMBB, SPD Deputy Chief Constable Russell Voyles said: “Doctors discovered some pre-existing bone fractures in one of the legs that were in the process of healing.
We don’t know how far along they were in the healing process, so we know that there will be some other injuries there that we have to address.” In the investigator’s opinion, this is one of the worst cases they have seen and the alleged shaking could have caused the baby to suffer a retinal detachment. Officer Voyles added: “We are waiting for the medical staff to make a better diagnosis of the child so we can move forward with possible additional charges.”
Officer Voyles added in his message to the public: “No matter how frustrated you are with a child, it’s not okay to shake them. It can have life-long, completely life-altering consequences. If you’re frustrated and put the baby down and walk away. You need to take a breather. Shaking the baby is never a good option.”
