INDIANAPOLIS -- Prosecutors plan to seek life sentences without parole for the mother of a 3-year-old girl and the woman's live-in boyfriend, who are charged with murder and neglect in the girl's death.

A probable cause affidavit revealed chilling details of abuse Tajanay Bailey faced at the hands of her mother's boyfriend, according to police.

Investigators said Lawrence Green, 20, used to hang Tajanay Bailey (pictured) on a hook as punishment for wetting herself. Bailey had been repeatedly beaten prior to her death, police said.

Green and Tajanay's mother, Charity Bailey, were each charged with murder, felony neglect of a dependent and three counts of felony neglect. Green was also charged with felony battery, 6News' Jack Rinehart reported.

Police and paramedics were called to the Phoenix apartments, on the city's northeast side, early Tuesday morning after Tajanay stopped breathing. Police said Tajanay had been punched in the chest.

"She was systematically tortured over the week of Thanksgiving by the mother's fiance and by the mother," said Marion County prosecutor Carl Brizzi. "Discipline went way over the norm."

Child Protective Services returned Tajanay and Bailey's 6-month-old infant to her on Oct. 31 despite repeated warnings from foster parents that the children would be in danger, Rinehart reported. Bailey is also pregnant.

"I think it's disgusting. It's horrifying," said Bridget Johnson, a former foster mother, in a phone interview. "The children were in a home where they were loved. The foster parents would have adopted them. They would have had a very good life, gotten a good education, been taken care of, been loved."

Johnson said Bailey recently failed a drug test and that Tajanay was to be removed from the home following a court appearance scheduled for the couple on Tuesday. According to Johnson, the system failed to protect Tajanay.

"The children were going to be pulled from them, and they probably knew that because she had a dirty drug drop," Johnson said.

Police told 6News that Child Protective Services cannot discuss the case right now.

Bailey's 6-month-old son was placed into the custody of child welfare officials.

Brizzi said additional charges will be filed against Bailey and Green over the next few days and that he will file a request seeking immediate custody of Bailey's child when it is born.

Bailey and Green will be in court for their initial hearings on Friday, Rinehart reported.
