Father of Baby Who Died After Mother Rolled Over Her Breaks Silence on Facebook
Marc Mejia, the father of Olalia Mejia who allegedly died because her mother rolled over her while on drugs, recently announced and urged social media followers to forgive jailed mother. Although it has been the most challenging and hurting time for all members of the family, they are however asking for positivity, per Fox News Latino.
In the midst of darkness and grief, Marc, the father of eight-month-old baby Olalia from New Jersey is asking for his social media followers to stop the hate messages against Olalia's mother, Lisa Scalia.
This is in light of the recent outpour of messages and social media traffic that the family received after Scalia allegedly rolled over on her baby Olalia while in bed, causing her to be found unresponsive at Scalia's home in Ventnor and died five days later.
"Please everyone remember that Lisa Marie loved Olaia Marie ... she definitely made the biggest mistake anyone can make but I refuse to believe she did this horrible act on purpose... no one is in more pain than me except probably her... if I can forgive her I know everyone can forgive her... Please pray for her as well.. Thank you everyone for all the love," Marc wrote on Facebook.
Meanwhile, Daily Mail reports that Scalia is currently jailed at a bail of $100,000 and is charged with multiple crimes including child endangerment and drug possession. According to the publication, authorities investigated and found out that Scalia rolled over on her child while under the influence.
The investigation results also revealed that Scalia was in possession of 34 bags of heroin and 10 Oxycodone pills. Although there are still no official statements coming from Scalia herself, medical reports say that there is still no official cause cited that will further put Scalia under more charges.
Meanwhile, the news agency reported that upon being discovered last Jan. 3, baby Olalia was revived in the incident but died on Jan. 9 at a Philadelphia hospital. All her organs were also donated as authorized by her father Marc, who also shared it on Facebook. "I have decided to allow my babies organs to be donated with the hope that she will bring a miracle to another family," he wrote.
Marco also recently announced via Facebook that there would be one final day for baby Olalia's funeral, which would be at the Lady Star of the Sea Church from 10 to 12 a.m.. Anyone who wishes to be a part of the farewell ceremonies are welcome.
