Two people indicted on neglect charge

COLUMBUS, Miss. (WCBI) – A former student pilot at Columbus Air Force Base and her child’s father were indicted on a neglect charge.

Carissa Vaccaro and Jordan Cox were both charged with Contributing to the Neglect of a Child.

Lowndes County investigators said a seven week old infant was admitted to Baptist Golden Triangle with a broken femur in October 2018.

The child was later taken to UMMC in Jackson where doctors found multiple injuries in different stages of healing.

Deputies said the parents, Vaccaro and Cox, did not provide proper medical care to their child, with the exception of the femur bone.

Jordan Cox had no official affiliation with CAFB.
