Naseline Timouche (Miami-Dade Corrections).
Authorities from the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office intervened after meeting Timouche and her daughter, following a report detailed in a probable cause arrest affidavit. The allegations have led to charges of aggravated child abuse resulting in great bodily harm and child neglect against Timouche.
The young girl reportedly bore multiple scars and marks on her body. She informed deputies about her mother’s alleged actions, which included leaving her alone for long durations, sometimes overnight. According to the girl’s account, her mother would wake her up in the middle of the night without reason and assault her with a charging cord, leaving visible scars as evidence.
Additionally, the affidavit revealed further claims of the child being struck with kitchen implements such as a frying pan and spatula.
She also had been beaten with a frying pan and spatula, the affidavit stated.
“The victim stated to detectives that she is not allowed to eat in her residence because the food is for ‘guests,’” cops wrote. “Therefore she can eat expired foods or food from the trash.”
A witness said she met the victim about two months ago and thought something was wrong. The witness said she would feed the victim while letting her stay in her home. She said she saw the victim walking alone around her home on Friday night and took the girl to her house.
After being advised of her Miranda rights, Timouche allegedly admitted to hitting her daughter with a charging cord. She also admitted to returning home at 5 a.m. Saturday after being out all night and never calling 911 when she saw her daughter was missing, per the complaint.
“The defendant knowingly and willfully failed to provide her children with the care, supervision and services necessary to maintain the child’s physical and mental health that a prudent person would consider essential for the well-being of a child,” deputies wrote.
Timouche was arrested and taken to the Miami-Dade Jail, where she is being held without bond.
