A newborn is dead. His parents claim he stopped breathing in his sleep. The autopsy says suffocation. The truth only comes out after hours of lies—the baby was left alone, strapped into a car seat, placed inside a bathtub, crying so loudly that his mother could still hear him over the lullaby music she played to drown him out.

In August 2025, 3‑week‑old Jaxson Watts was found unresponsive in a playpen at his family’s Hollywood, Florida home [citation:2][citation:5]. First responders pronounced him dead at the scene. His mother, Crystal Garcia, 21, and father, Anfernee Watts, 25, told police a story of a peaceful bedtime routine. But the affidavit tells a different story. Garcia confessed that when the baby would not stop crying, she wrapped him tightly in a blanket, strapped him into a car seat, secured a pacifier in his mouth, and placed the car seat inside a bathtub [citation:5]. She played loud lullabies, went to bed, and fell asleep while the baby continued to cry. When she finally checked on him hours later, she “knew it was dead.” Both parents then staged the scene to look like a crib death before calling for help. Each now faces charges of aggravated child manslaughter and evidence tampering. Turn down the lights, put on your headphones, and press play because the lullabies were not for the baby. They were to hide his screams.
