Neighbors at the Oak Grove Apartments said they know James and the family of the toddler, and they never saw any problems.

"They (looked) like a happy family," neighbor Justin Vorof said. "I talked to the guy (Monday), and he seems really happy, so I didn't see anything
wrong with the guy."

Joshua James Charged With First-Degree Murder

UPDATED: 2:15 pm EST January 6, 2012


ORLANDO, Fla. -- The one-year-old in the middle of a child abuse investigation has died and a local man has been booked into jail on first-degree murder charges.



Joshua James is charged with first-degree murder in the boy's death.


Investigators with the Orlando Police Department said Joshua James, the caretaker of the 20-month-old child, is responsible for the child's death.

Authorities originally arrested James and charged him with aggravated child abuse, but as a result of the child's death and autopsy those charges are now upgraded to first-degree murder.

The boy was rushed to the hospital a month ago when James saw he wasn't breathing.

Officials said they were notified after doctors found bruises all over the toddler's body.

The toddler died Dec. 30 at Hospice in Altamonte Springs.

Sadly, this needs to be moved. It is now officially a murder.

Is this "caretaker" a boyfriend of the mother? Of the father? A babysitter? A nanny?

What is the relationship between James and the dead baby's family? Why is the dead baby not being named?
