Janet Irvin arrested and charged in case of Quawan Charles with failure to
report a missing child and contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile
Janet Irvin is a 37-year-old woman whose alleged actions of contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile and failure to report a missing child, after allegedly contributing to the child’s delinquency, has gotten her a $400,000 bond tab and a free stay in the Iberia Parish County jail in Louisiana.
On Tuesday, February 9, 2021, a judge in the 16th District Court issued a warrant for Janet Irvin’s arrest. Around 11 in the morning, the Lafayette Parish Sheriff’s deputies arrested Janet Irvin and booked her into the Lafayette Parish jail. Sometime during the day, the Iberia Parish Sheriff’s deputies picked up Janet Irvin and took her on over to their jail where she remains.
Janet Irvin got herself into all of this mess after the Iberia Parish Sheriff’s deputies found 15-year-old Quawan Charles, who was last seen with Janet Irvin and her 17-year-old son, lying down dead in shallow water in a sugar cane field.
The way the story goes is that Quawan Charles was sitting outside on the side of the road in front of his daddy’s house when Janet Irvin and hers came driving by. Quawan Charles jumped up and went running down the road behind Janet Irvin’s car. Janet Irvin looked up, saw the lad, and then turned the car around and headed back towards Quawan Charles’ way. Once she made it back towards Quawan Charles’ way, Janet Irvin parked the car and then she and hers get out and went with Quawan Charles to his daddy’s backyard.
After doing what they had to do in Quawan Charles’ daddy’s backyard, they hopped into Janet Irvin’s car and headed on towards her house.
Upon arrival at Janet Irvin’s house, everybody got out the car and then the two boys went somewhere and got high on weed. At least, that’s what the CBS folks say Quawan Charles’ family is saying their private investigator told them that Janet Irvin’s son told him. “Yeah, he smoked some weed. That was it,” is what the CBS folks say they heard a male tell the private investigator who was hired by the Charles family.
For her part, Janet Irvin told the police that Quawan Charles got so high on mushrooms that he went to sleep and then woke up in fight mode which quickly turned into suicide mode.
At some point, Quawan Charles made it out of Janet Irvin’s house and over to a school where some folks claim to have seen him crawling into the culverts. Y’all know what culverts are. Those are the pipes with the round holes that the gators use as their transportation system.
Welp, some folks claim to have seen 15-year-old Quawan Charles using the gators’ transportation system while he was allegedly high as a kite. Mind you, these same some folks who claim to have seen a 15-year-old crawling into the same pipes the gators use didn’t say that they took time to get the young fella out of danger. Yeah, y’all get the picture.
Needless to say, an autopsy was done in order to determine how 15-year-old Quawan Charles died. According to the autopsy report, 15-year-old Quawan Charles died from drowning. Now, here’s the kicker. Quawan Charles was found in a sugar cane field where, according to his family’s attorneys, Ronald Haley and Chase Trichell, the water wasn’t deep enough to cause a person’s death by drowning.
Therefore, the four questions that must be answered are, “When did Quawan Charles drown? Where did he drown? Who drowned him? And why did someone drown him?” The investigation into those questions are ongoing.
With the help of the autopsy report, the investigators have determined whether Janet Irvin and her son are right about Quawan Charles consuming drugs. The autopsy report confirmed Janet Irvin’s son’s claim of “some weed” in Quawan Charles’s system.
In the opinion section of the report, officials with the coroner’s office noted that it is possible that the “some weed” Quawan Charles smoked could have led to a psychological break leading to him committing suicide: “It is possible that the decedent was hallucinating due to psychosis, which led to disorientation which led to an accidental drowning. The alleged circumstance of saying he was going to kill himself, and the lack of injuries, suggests suicide may be the manner of death…..Suicide during psychotic episodes is not uncommon and may have occurred here, possibly.”
“Possibly” is the key word which raises doubt about what Janet Irvin wants folks to believe led to Quawan Charles’ death. If y’all remember right, Janet Irvin claims that Quawan Charles was as high as a kite on mushrooms so to the point that he went, like lightning speed, from fight mode to suicide mode.
However, the autopsy report does not confirm Janet Irvin’s claim of there being mushrooms in Quawan Charles’ system. “Uh-oh” is what y’all are more than likely saying to y’all selves, at this point, due to the autopsy report appearing to catch Janet Irvin in a lie. And y’all know the saying, “If you’ll lie, you’ll cheat. If you’ll cheat, you’ll steal. And if you’ll steal, then you’ll kill.”
It also doesn’t help Janet Irvin’s case that Quawan Charles’ parents say they reported him missing on October 30, 2020, and that it wasn’t until November 3, 2020, that the Iberia Parish Sheriff’s Office found his body in a sugar cane field that is located not too far from the Village of Loreauville.
The area where Quawan Charles’ body was found is located in Iberia Parish. His father’s house, however, is located in Baldwin which is located in St. Mary Parish. The importance of all of this is that Quawan Charles’ family says that the police didn’t take their report of their missing 15-year-old son seriously because they thought he was just a kid who had haul tail off somewhere and would eventually turn up at his daddy’s front door.
The Baldwin Police Department is saying nothing could be further from the truth and that the only reason why they didn’t send out an alert on a missing 15-year-old is because Quawan Charles’ family never told them that their 15-year-old was missing. As for the Iberia Parish Sheriff’s Office, they said they couldn’t take the report seriously because they weren’t notified about Quawan Charles being missing until November 3, 2020. The Iberia Parish Sheriff’s Office located Quawan Charles’ body in a sugar can field after they got a “ping” from his cellphone.
Quawan Charle’s parents say that they would have never given permission to their son to ride along with Janet Irvin and hers because they do not know them well enough to trust Janet Irvin and hers around their son. Janet Irvin, of course, is denying she did anything wrong. Let her tell it, she was just being a normal mother who was just picking up another kid for her kid to play with.
The only problem with all of that is folks can’t go around here just picking up other folks chilrin’ all willy-nilly. Whenever that happens, parents tend to do what Quawan Charle’s parents did which is to call the police. And the next thing you know, the police are knocking on your door about you kidnapping somebody’s kid; or worse yet, the worse yet.
And in Janet Irvin’s case, it is the worse yet.
