A young Michigan mother has been charged with first-degree murder for allegedly leaving her 6-month-old son strapped in a car seat in a hot apartment without food for two days, according to multiple reports. On Monday, Lovily Johnson, 22, of Wyoming, Michigan, was charged with first-degree murder and first-degree child abuse in the death of her son, Noah Johnson, according to court records obtained by the Detroit Free Press. Wyoming District Court Judge Steven M. Timmers ordered her held without bond pending her next court appearance on Aug. 2. If convicted of the felony charges, Johnson faces mandatory life in prison. Allegedly Deprived Baby of ‘Necessities of Life’ 
 
 According to an arrest affidavit, police were notified after Johnson brought her infant son’s dead body to Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital on July 19, MLive reports. “Upon arrival, Noah was clearly deceased and had been for some time,’’ Wyoming Detective Robert Meredith wrote in a probable cause affidavit obtained by WZZM.

 During an interview with police, the mother admitted Noah was under her care and no one else cared for him in the four days prior, records show. Also read: 
 
 “Johnson admitted to being at home multiple times a day during that time frame,’’ Meredith wrote. Although she admitted being home “multiple times a day during that time frame, she knowingly and intentionally deprived him of the necessities of life by not feeding him since Monday evening,” Meredith alleged in the affidavit. During this time, Noah remained buckled in a car seat on the upper floor of Johnson’s apartment with no air conditioning.’’ 
 
 Johnson, who is on probation for embezzling from a business on 28th Street SE, is also the mother of a two-year-old daughter. Johnson’s other child, a two-year-old daughter, has been placed under the supervision of the state Department of Health and Human Services, according to WZZM. During today’s video arraignment in Wyoming District Court, Johnson initially said she did not understand the charges. “Well, let me make it really clear,’’ the judge told her, according to WZZM. “They alleged you killed a young child and that you physically abused it. Does that make sense to you?” 
 
 “Yes sir,’’ Johnson answered. “OK, at least you understand the charges against you,’’ Timmers replied before denying her bond, according to WZZM. “Bond at this point is going to be denied and you are all set for today.’’ 
 
 Johnson asked for a court-appointed attorney. She was denied bond Monday, and will return to court Aug. 2 for a probable cause hearing and Aug. 9 for a preliminary exam. The death is believed to have occurred in the 2600 block of McKee Avenue SW. 
 
 Lovily Johnson was arrested Wednesday and taken to the Kent County Correctional Facility. Prior Embezzlement Conviction 
 
 Besides facing murder and child abuse charges, Johnson has allegedly violated parole for a 2016 embezzlement conviction and will appear in court for an upcoming probation violation hearing, WZZM reports. She was charged with embezzlement of less than $200 for an incident last August at a business on 28th Street SE. Johnson in September was placed on probation for eight months and ordered to stay away from Woodland Mall, according to records in Kentwood District Court. In a probation violation bench warrant issued earlier this month, violations include failing to pay fines and court costs, not performing community service and failing to seek and secure a job, court records show.
– A young mother in Michigan has been charged with first-degree murder and first-degree child abuse after allegedly strapping her 6-month-old son into a car seat for two days without food or water. Lovily Johnson, 22, had a personal protection order against the father of her 2-year-old daughter in 2016, and he pleaded guilty to aggravated domestic violence last year, reports the Detroit Free Press. Now, a Kent County judge has ordered that her toddler be placed under state supervision as officials work to unite the girl with her grandmother. But for the baby, Noah Edward Johnson, help came too late. By the time Johnson brought the boy's body to Helen DeVos Children's Hospital on July 19, a detective writes in a probable cause affidavit, "Noah was clearly deceased and had been for some time." Johnson allegedly admitted to being in sole charge of his care for the previous four days. She says she came home multiple times as the baby stayed fastened to his seat in a hot upper-story room without air conditioning, but "knowingly and intentionally deprived him of the necessities of life," the affidavit read, per People. Johnson was arrested, denied bail, and is due in court in August, reports MLive. "Let me make it really clear," the judge told Johnson when she said she didn't understand the charges, per KXTV. "They alleged you killed a young child and that you physically abused it." Johnson then said she understood. She pleaded not guilty. (This boy died in his dead mother's arms.)
