Police said they have arrested and charged 33-year-old Lakeya Johnson in the death of her 4-year-old daughter, who officials said had suffered massive head trauma as a result of child abuse.
Dramiara Johnson had been taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital on Aug. 22 with significant head injuries, police said. Though family members told hospital staff that Dramiara had hit her head after falling during a "play fight" with her brother at a home in the 1700 block of Gorsuch Ave., the attending physician said that scenario did not match up with the child's injuries. She was taken off life support by the family on Aug. 27.
On Monday, police said every family member was a potential suspect and late Monday charged Johnson, of the 3000 block of Federal St., with child abuse resulting in death and related charges. She was being held on $1 million bond pending a bail review.

Bail of one million? come on.
Bond of $1 million seems right to me for someone who may have abused a child to death.

I agree somewhat but I've seen other cases much worse that had no where near that amount of bail.
Sometimes there seems to be no rhyme or reason to the way things are done.
