Kristel A. Candelario, 31, of Cleveland, was arrested for killing her 16-month-old daughter after she admitted to leaving the baby girl home alone while she went on vacation for eight days.
According to the arrest affidavit, officers with the Cleveland Police Department and paramedics responded to a 911 call regarding a dead baby, later identified as Jailyn Candelario, at a residence in the 3100 block of West 97th Street. The caller said she came home and found her toddler unresponsive.

Upon arrival, paramedics found the child and pronounced her dead. Although investigators found “no signs of trauma,” “A preliminary investigation revealed that Jailyn was extremely dehydrated,” police wrote in the report.
In Jailyn’s crib, police found soiled blankets and a mattress which they said was “saturated with urine and feces.”
Authorities said Candelario confessed to leaving her toddler alone while on vacation for ten days.
The incident report states that by “Candelario’s very own admission,” she revealed that she left Jailyn “at home, all alone and unattended” from June 8 until June 16 “while she was vacationing in Puerto Rico and Detroit, Michigan.”
The toddler’s remains were sent to the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office for an autopsy and further examination.
The medical examiner determined “the child had been left alone and unattended for approximately ten days and subsequently died,” officials said.

Candelario’s neighbors reportedly told Cleveland NBC affiliate WKYC that Candelario was known as an absentee mother. Neighbors told the station that in August 2022, Candelario dropped Jailyn off at their apartment and asked if they could watch the child for a weekend. However, they said that Candelario then disappeared for several weeks, either refusing to answer her phone or offering excuses about why she could not get her baby.
“I was the one calling her saying, ‘Look, I need milk. I need money. I don’t have money to buy milk for your baby. What am I supposed to do?’”
They claimed Candelario eventually picked up Jailyn after about six weeks. The women reportedly told the station they wished Candelario would have left the baby with them instead of abandoning her alone.
