text: A 17-year-old girl arrested after her severely malnourished four-month-old daughter was hospitalized and the corpse of a three-year-old child was found at a North Las Vegas home will not face criminal charges. The unidentified teenager is a victim and was released on Monday from juvenile detention into the custody of county child protective services, said Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson. 'This child is a victim in this case and can best receive appropriate and necessary services through the dependency court system and family services,' Wolfson said in a statement.

Jondrew Megil Lachaux (left), 39, an ex-convict and Kellie Cherie Phillips (right), 38, have been arrested on felony charges in the alleged abandonment case of three children in a North Las Vegas home . North Las Vegas police Officer Aaron Patty said the four-month-old child was released from a hospital and turned over on Monday to the custody of Clark County Child Protective Services. Police in North Las Vegas are continuing to probe what they have described as a three-generation case of child abuse involving the girl's mother, Kellie Cherie Phillips, 38, a man she described as her stepfather, Jondrew Magil Lachaux, 39, and the discovery of the couple's three-year-old daughter dead in the back seat of a broken-down car in the garage of a home on Wood Thrush Place. Phillips and Lachaux have six children together while the teenager is from another relationship. Lachaux, an ex-convict, was arrested April 7 and Phillips was arrested April 8 on allegations that they abandoned the teenager and the toddler in a North Las Vegas house and took their other five children to Oakland, California. The other children — ages one, four, seven, eight and nine — were found with Phillips in good health. They have been placed in the custody of family services. Lachaux allegedly sexually assaulted the teenager and she had become pregnant, but she did not know, reports the Review Journal. Phillips and Lachaux, who are not married, were being held pending court appearances this week on felony charges of child abuse. The teen told police that her mother didn't know she was pregnant with Lachaux's child when the rest of the family left last year in a crowded rental car. She said she gave birth at home last November with no medical care. The girl told police her sickly three-year-old sister died several weeks ago, and that Lachaux returned to the house in late March and moved the decomposing corpse to an old Mercedes sedan parked in the garage, covering the corpse with old pizza boxes. A police SWAT team broke into the couple's house (above) and discovered the corpse of the three-year-old girl . Lachaux kicked the teen out of the house, police said, and she lived for several days in public places including the Las Vegas Strip and McCarran International Airport before someone noticed the sick baby and summoned authorities. The infant is recovering after being hospitalized in critical condition for severe malnutrition and hypothermia, police said. The girl told investigators the child survived on watered-down baby formula. Records show that Lachaux served prison time in Nevada from June 2006 to August 2008 on a coercion conviction and that he and Phillips were involved in a legal dispute in Reno's family court until 2010.
