BIBB COUNTY, Ga. – The parents of two toddlers are facing charges “after a witness reported the children at [the home] were in danger” and responding deputies found them suffering from injuries. Officials have yet to release further details about the injuries the two-year-old male and four-year-old female sustained but confirmed that the boy remains in stable but critical condition and the girl is listed as stable, both receiving treatment at a local hospital.

Bibb County sheriff’s deputies conducted a welfare check at the Del Park home at approximately 10:00 AM on Thursday, September 19, 2024, and arrested the children’s father, 30-year-old Kyle David Rogers. He faces charges of aggravated assault, aggravated battery, battery, two counts of first-degree child cruelty, and three counts of making terroristic threats.

The following day, an investigation led to the arrest of the toddlers’ mother, Dajanae Nicole Jones. She was charged with two counts of first-degree child cruelty as well as served with outstanding warrants from the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office and the Sandy Springs Police Department.

Rogers and Jones remain detained at the Bibb County Jail without bond.

Authorities are asking the public to contact the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office at 478-751-7500 or Macon Regional Crimestoppers at 1-877-68CRIME (682-7463) if they have any information pertaining to this active investigation.
