Mikaela Green (Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office).

An individual from Florida has been imprisoned following allegations of neglecting a girl with cerebral palsy. The woman reportedly abandoned the child at a hospital and did not respond to the hospital’s attempts to reach her, despite desperate pleas from medical staff.

According to a probable cause affidavit from investigators with the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, the investigation began when the caregiver, 37-year-old Mikaela Jazmine Green, brought the girl to Wolfson Children’s Hospital on June 23. Green told doctors the girl, who not only has cerebral palsy but also suffers from a brain injury, a seizure disorder, is dependent on a feeding tube and wheelchair, had been vomiting for over a week and had a fever, the affidavit said.

Green left the hospital after staff admitted the girl and allegedly never came back. She failed to answer phone calls from the hospital, the Department of Children and Families and cops, according to the affidavit. She had a feeding machine for the girl and never bothered to take it to the hospital, cops noted.

Doctors determined the girl was in the 2nd percentile for weight, length and body mass index, the affidavit said. The girl, who is nonverbal, also had sores throughout her body including on her elbows, hips and upper back, per doctors. Investigators researched the child’s medical history and determined she had not seen a pediatrician since February 2023, a neurologist since April 2023 and a nutritionist since September 2023. Experts said given the girl’s condition, she should be seen by a doctor every three months or so. They also determined the girl had lost about 20 pounds in the last nine months, the affidavit said.

Detectives also learned that the child’s wheelchair had been broken for at least a year and Green never obtained a new one, according to cops.
