Deisy Yamileth Martinez Garcia (Miami-Dade County Corrections).

Deisy Yamileth Martinez Garcia, the mother in question, is now facing charges of child neglect without great bodily harm. Details from a probable cause arrest affidavit reveal that Miami Police Department officers were notified on a Friday after the young girl attended her therapy session bearing visible injuries. The child confided in her therapist, stating that her mother had struck her in the face the previous week.

The young girl also disclosed that her mother had been intoxicated at the time of the assault and expressed confusion over the motive behind her mother’s violent behavior. The situation was further complicated by additional troubling revelations.

The arrest affidavit includes allegations that the mother was engaging in inappropriate behavior in the presence of her daughter. The child reported that her mother would invite men over to their home and engage in sexual activities in front of her, actions that reportedly triggered memories of past traumatic experiences for the girl.

“Additionally, her mother has been inviting men over and having sex with them in front of her,” the affidavit stated.

According to the complaint, the girl told detectives that when her mother brings men over “they get naked, they touch each other and it reminds her of what happened to her in the past.”

Martinez Garcia said in an interview with cops that she saw the victim come out of the room with a mark on her eye. A roommate told officers it was because Martinez Garcia wanted her to leave the bedroom. The roommate also confirmed that Martinez Garcia had been bringing home men she met on the beach and she told the suspect to stop doing so. In addition, the girl and her brother told the roommate in the past that they had not eaten and appeared to be “soiled,” the affidavit stated.

After receiving her Miranda rights, Martinez Garcia allegedly said in an interview with officers that she accidentally hit her daughter when Martinez Garcia was trying to wake the girl up and grabbed her blankets. The defendant also allegedly made “inconsistent statements” about the men whom she was inviting over to her apartment. She claimed the roommate was “coaching” her daughter about what to tell cops.

Officers took Martinez Garcia to jail where she remains on a $2,500 bond. Jail records also show she has an immigration hold on her.
