Why is my child gone?’: family demands answers after teen found dead in Atlanta cell
Noni Battiste-Kosoko died days after her 19th birthday, amid a series of deaths in Fulton county custody
Also this month, another resident, 34-year-old Christopher Smith, was found unresponsive in a medical unit cell. Smith is the fifth person who has died in Fulton county custody this year.
Battiste-Kosoko’s mother said when her daughter was younger, she had been diagnosed with psychosis. Her cellmate said she witnessed traces of this before Battiste-Kosoko’s death, saying the teen had been hearing voices in her head and felt jail officials ignored her condition. The cellmate once woke up to find Battiste-Kosoko banging her head against the concrete wall.
“It wasn’t like a soft bang,” the cellmate, who went by “Amanda” for her protection, told FOX 5 Atlanta. “It was a very solid, hard [bang], multiple times to the wall.”
Not to diminish the ridiculousness of so many deaths in custody, but it sounds like this young lady did herself in.
