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

Texas cops are slamming an Austin judge after the court granted a woman accused of beating her three-month-old a $250 bond so she could be released from jail.

Brittney Bailey, 31, is a free woman despite her March arrest for beating her three-month-old baby girl. 

Police are also investigating the death of the infant's twin who was found in the home, but no charges have yet been filed. 

Despite the on-going murder investigation, local magistrate Judge Tania Jeffers agreed to lower Bailey's bond to $250.

Brittney Bailey, 31, is charged with the physical abuse of her 3-month-old infant baby and is under investigation for the death of a second baby, according to Austin police

'Mother brutally beats her defenseless three-month-old child and the twin is found dead. 

'A heinous crime against an innocent child…' tweeted the president of the Austin police union Michael Bullock. 

'Our criminal justice system is broken. Maybe one day we can find judges that actually care about protecting victims instead of coddling criminals.' 

Judge Tania Jeffers was elected to her post in March

Paramedics were called to an apartment where Bailey was staying with her newborn twins March 10.

One of the twin girls was not breathing after Bailey claimed the baby rolled off the bed, reported local station KVUE.

The baby who allegedly fell off the bed also had cuts and bruises to her face. 

Bailey blamed her 17-year-old daughter, telling police she saw the teen play rough with the newborn and even throw a cellphone at her. 

While Bailey was not charged in that infant's death, police noticed what they considered signs of abuse on the dead baby's twin sister. 

An abuse investigation was launched for the baby at home, while the twin taken to the hospital died. 

When that baby was examined at the hospital, doctors found injuries to her lips, cheeks and nostrils and bruising to her forehead and neck.  

There were also numerous fractures to both legs and possible fractures to her ribs. 

That baby girl died March 15.

Doctors didn't buy Bailey's version of events, writing in their report to police that the wounds on the baby were 'attributable to forces generated by someone with the strength and coordination of an adult.'

The father of twins witnessed Bailey being rough with the infant on several occasions, but claimed she would beat on him when he tried to intervene. 

While investigating the death of the baby, police noticed signs of abuse on the other twin. 

Bailey was charged with injury to a child, a first-degree felony, for the twin who is still alive.

Originally, Bailey was given a $40,000 bond.

Meanwhile, the investigation into who, if anyone at all, will face charges for the death of the other twin remains open as police wait for an autopsy, the Austin Police Department told DailyMail.com.

'There is potential for further charges,' the agency confirmed.

However, Bailey's lawyer submitted a request to lower Bailey's bond, claiming she was 'indigent,' court records show.

On April 23, Jeffers reduced Bailey's bond to $250. The mom walked out of the jail the next day.

As part of her bond, Bailey must wear a GPS monitor for 90 and has a curfew from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. 

 Bailey was originally given a $40,000 bond, however, her lawyer submitted a request to lower it on ground she is indigent, and Judge Tania Jeffers agreed to lower it to $250 on April 23. Bailey bonded out the next day

'In general, it just seems to be a lackadaisical attitude towards actually holding people when they commit violent offenses. 

'We seem to not have a concern that the the violence means they're likely to have something else happen.'

Jeffers did not immediately respond to a request for comment for DailyMail.com. 

Additionally, there is nothing in the terms of her bond keeping Bailey from seeing the child is she is accused of abusing. 

Bullock called Jeffer's move a 'slap in the face' to cops and the victims in this case. 

'You have a small child incapable of communicating, incapable of defending themselves,' he said. 'The only true advocate that they're going to have is the person investigating the case. To see the person who caused the harm released, it's a slap in the face of the officer, not to mention the victim.'
