Fury as Texas mother suspected of beating her baby daughters is FREED on a $250 bond

The release of Brittney Bailey, 31, on a $250 bond has sparked outrage in Texas. Bailey was arrested in March for allegedly beating her three-month-old daughter, and she is under investigation for the death of her twin. Judge Tania Jeffers lowered Bailey's bond from $40,000, leading to Bailey's release the next day. The move has been criticized by police and the Austin police union president, Michael Bullock, who condemned the leniency and the impact on victims and law enforcement. Paramedics discovered signs of abuse on Bailey's surviving daughter, who later died from her injuries, and also found injuries on the deceased twin. Bailey's release has fueled discussions about the criminal justice system and its handling of violent offenses, particularly involving vulnerable victims such as infants. Bailey must wear a GPS monitor and adhere to a curfew as part of her bond conditions.
