Janet Solis, aged 25, pled guilty on Monday to a single charge of child neglect. This development comes almost a year after allegations surfaced that her newborn son suffered severe injuries when he fell from her hospital bed onto a tile floor. According to a criminal complaint reported by Law&Crime, authorities were alerted on November 4, 2024, that the infant had sustained skull fractures after Solis allegedly overdosed on heroin at the hospital. The baby was discovered on the floor by nursing staff at Aurora Medical Center in Grafton, a suburb located just north of Milwaukee.

In connection with this distressing incident, Solis’ boyfriend, Devin Berg, also 25, faces charges as an accomplice in the child neglect case. His legal proceedings are ongoing, with a court appearance set for November 10.

The complaint further reveals that Solis avoided prenatal care due to fears of intervention from child protective services. She confessed to police that she had used marijuana and heroin during her pregnancy. A urine test conducted at the hospital after her child’s birth confirmed the presence of marijuana and fentanyl in her system.

According to the complaint, detectives who investigated Solis found that she did not receive prenatal care because she said she was afraid of child protective services becoming involved. Solis told police that she used marijuana and heroin while she was pregnant; a urine test taken while she was at the hospital after the baby’s birth revealed that she had marijuana and fentanyl in her system.

The baby “tested positive for cocaine, fentanyl, and THC and was suffering from withdrawal symptoms following his birth” on Oct. 29, 2024.

Concerns that Solis and Berg were using drugs while at the hospital emerged on Nov. 3, when nurses checked on Solis at 9 p.m. The complaint stated that during that visit, Solis left the newborn unattended on her hospital bed while she used the bathroom. She later admitted that she was using heroin at the time.

Police said that when nursing staff checked on Solis on Nov. 4 at around 2 a.m., she was “unconscious and ‘unrousable’ on the hospital bed” while her newborn was on the floor underneath the bed next to a bottle. When the baby was examined, he was found to have “two linear fractures” of the skull. The hospital’s public safety staff conducted a search of Solis’ room and found a Ziploc bag containing “suspected cocaine or fentanyl” as well as “drug paraphernalia and three vape devices with suspected THC.”

Solis told police that she was a daily drug user and Berg, her boyfriend, was the person who supplied her with drugs several times during her hospital visit. When police interviewed Berg, he said that “he had no idea Solis was using drugs.” He also denied using drugs himself before eventually admitting that he and Solis were both daily drug users.

When asked about the baby falling from the bed, Berg told police “he was not at the hospital when (the infant) fell off the bed, but that he knew about it because Solis had called him and said that the nurses were being ridiculous about it,” according to the complaint.

Solis and Berg also have a 3-year-old daughter. It was not made clear who took custody of the children following their parents’ arrests.

Solis pleaded guilty to one count of child neglect causing great bodily harm on Monday. She was sentenced to two years in prison with four years of extended supervision.
