Man Puts Antifreeze in 18-Day-Old Baby’s Milk: A Cruel Act Background In October 2020, Curtis L. Jack, a 48-year-old man from Georgia, was convicted of attempted unaliving and cruelty to children. His crime? Deliberately poisoning his newborn baby’s milk with antifreeze. Hospital staff at Children’s Health Care of Atlanta discovered that an 18-day-old baby had tested positive for antifreeze. The mother had entrusted Jack with ten bags of natural milk to take to her mother’s house. Unbeknownst to her, he spiked the milk with antifreeze. Jack’s girlfriend had decided to keep the baby despite his request to not have the baby. In a twisted act of revenge, he allegedly poisoned

the natural milk. Even a small amount of antifreeze can cause severe harm, potentially damaging the brain and kidneys. After a trial, the jury found Curtis L. Jack guilty on all counts. He received a 40-year prison sentence. Thankfully, the child survived, but the emotional scars will likely last a lifetime. Jack’s lawyers have requested a new trial, arguing insufficient evidence. As the legal battle continues, we hope justice prevails for the innocent child and her mother. This case serves as a reminder of the darkness that can exist within human hearts. Let us strive to protect the most vulnerable among us and seek justice for their sake.
