City mother faces child endangerment charge

While home alone with her 2-month-old son on Dec. 14, Savannah Antram texted her mother a message that read “Goodbye Mom,” according to an affidavit. Antram’s mother drove an hour to her daughter’s house at 420 Wilson St., where she found Antram “on the floor next to a medication bottle and an open bottle of liquor,” a city police officer wrote in the court document. In the cradle in the same room was the infant, unharmed, police said. Paramedics and police rushed to the scene. Antram, 20, has now been charged with one felony count of endangering the welfare of a child for “leaving the infant alone without any care,” police allege. Following her arraignment Monday before District Judge Denise Dieter, Antram was released on $15,000 bail.
