Jovan Cooper held a vigil for her deceased three-month-old son, Nicholas Cooper, Friday night.
The Lorain County mother said she returned from work last March and found Nicholas in his crib, unresponsive.
"I held my son's corpse in my arm," Cooper said. "I worked on my son for 45 minutes. My son was already dead before I got home."
Cooper said she had hired a 13-year-old to babysit her son while she worked overnights. According to state law, a 13-year-old cannot work before 7 a.m., and past 7 p.m. during the school year.
The case has been sent to the Lorain County Prosecutor. The next step is waiting for a grand jury hearing.
