REYNOLDSBURG, Ohio (WCMH) – A woman facing 24 charges, including murder, in the brutal death of a 4-year-old Reynoldsburg boy will remain in jail after a bond hearing Thursday.

According to court records, Kailee Smith-Parks, the mother of Ja’Kai Smith, is facing charges of murder, aggravated murder and 22 counts of endangering children in the death of Smith, who was reported dead on April 10 after police were called to Nationwide Children’s Hospital.

In a bond hearing at Franklin County Court of Common Pleas, Smith-Parks was remanded and will remain in Franklin County Jail. She was appointed a public defender as counsel.

Smith-Parks and her boyfriend Linwood Allison, both 19 years old, were arrested after an investigation began because of the “suspicious circumstances related to (Ja’Kai’s) death,” which was ruled a homicide. Police said Allison was allegedly seen on the child’s bedroom camera causing fatal injuries to Ja’Kai at a residence on Steinway Drive in east Columbus.

A court indictment also includes 44 total charges of endangering children between the two suspects, including 22 apiece, between March 21 through April 10. Each count indicates that Ja’Kai suffered injuries, almost daily, from possible torture, corporal punishment or physical restraint or abuse in a cruel manner and excessive manner that created a substantial risk of serious physical harm.

A motion filed by state prosecutors is seeking remand for both suspects and said that the videos show Allison using torture methods, both physical and psychological, which would include, but not limited to, beating, locking the boy in his room, starvation, waterboarding, forced cold showers, and verbal abuse.

The prosecution said Thursday that Ja’Kai could not stand or walk when he was found and would be punished if he asked for food.

“You will see Ja’Kai eating crumbs, off the carpet to try and get some kind of nutrients,” Reynoldsburg detective Nicholas Rubenstahl said in court. “When they do feed him, things such as apples, he would eat the entire apple, including the core because of how little food he was provided.”

On April 10, when Ja’Kai was found motionless, prosecuting attorneys said he was accused of faking it. State counsel said Smith-Parks involvement was daily.

The motion filed asking for remand said Ja’Kai Smith died from his injuries and that he was malnourished and had multiple visible injuries to his body. At the time of her arrest, police said Smith-Parks had reason to believe the child needed immediate medical attention, but failed to seek help.

Last week, Smith-Parks and Allison, who pleaded not guilty to all charges, were issued bonds of $500,000 and $1.5 million, respectively in Franklin County Municipal Court. A future court date for Allison has yet to be determined.
