Gainesville mother charged in meth death of 38-day-old son

Rebecca Morris, 36, appeared in an Alachua County court Wednesday on a charge of aggravated manslaughter of a child following the death of her infant son Josiah last month. Medical examiners determined the 38-day-old died from toxic levels of methamphetamine in his system. The baby’s aunt, who had met Josiah only days before his death, said family members are seeking accountability.
