A deadbeat father in Georgia has been sentenced to 50 years in prison for deliberately poisoning his newborn baby’s milk in an attempt to evade child support payments.
You cannot make this stuff up.
The perpetrator, Curtis Jack, utilized antifreeze to carry out this heinous act, resulting in his conviction on charges of first-degree cruelty to children and attempted murder, as reported by the South Fulton Police.

Jack had impregnated a woman with whom he was romantically involved in 2020, despite pressuring her to undergo an abortion. Following the birth of their child on September 24, 2020, the woman was hospitalized, prompting her to request Jack to deliver breastmilk to the child’s grandmother, who was caring for the newborn and the woman’s older daughter.

Tragically, the infant fell critically ill within 24 hours, leading to suspicions of poisoning. Jack confessed to authorities that he had spiked the breastmilk with antifreeze as a means to shirk his financial responsibilities towards the child.

Despite retracting his confession after being indicted, compelling testimonies from the mother, grandmother, detectives, and medical professionals, including a demonstration of the ease with which the milk could be contaminated, secured his conviction on all charges.
Fortunately, the baby survived the ordeal and is reported to be in good health.
