Bronx Mother Pleads Guilty to Manslaughter in Death of 7-Year-Old Daughter

Lady

 In a tragic case that has gripped New York City, 35-year-old Navasia Jones has pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter for the 2021 death of her seven-year-old daughter, Julissia Batties, in their Bronx apartment. This plea agreement, reached on March 12, 2025, results in a 15-year prison sentence for Jones.

The case has been fraught with complexities. Initially, both Jones and her son, Paul Fine Jr., were charged in connection with Julissia's death. Fine Jr. faced allegations of sexual abuse and assault against his half-sister. However, as part of Jones's plea deal, she accepted full responsibility, leading to the dismissal of charges against Fine Jr.

This outcome has left Julissia's family devastated. Her father, Julius Batties, expressed profound grief and anger, feeling that the 15-year sentence is insufficient for the loss of his daughter. He lamented, "I don't get my daughter back."

The case also highlights systemic issues within child protective services. Despite previous reports of abuse and neglect, Julissia was returned to her mother's care by the city's Administration for Children's Services. This decision has come under intense scrutiny following the child's death.

As Jones begins her prison term, questions linger about the adequacy of child welfare interventions and the legal proceedings that led to this plea agreement. The community continues to mourn Julissia Batties, whose life was tragically cut short.
