Savawna Bowen mug shot

Savawna Bowen (Tulsa County Jail).

An Oklahoma woman faces charges of child neglect after prosecutors accused her of waiting too long to seek medical attention for her severely injured baby, who eventually died.

Savawna Bowen, 23, was arrested on Jan. 3, almost exactly one year after her 4-month-old son died after succumbing to injuries he received allegedly at the hands of his own father. The baby’s father, Daquan White, also 23, was charged with murder and child abuse. An investigation into Bowen revealed that she allegedly knew that her son was hurt and needed medical treatment but failed to seek it. Instead, she allegedly searched various medical conditions online before finally taking her baby to the hospital. As a result, prosecutors say, the baby died on Jan. 11, 2024.
