1-Year-Old Found Unresponsive on Beach, Mother Charged

In Daytona Beach, a Detroit woman has been arrested and charged with child neglect and aggravated child abuse following an incident where her 1-year-old son was found unresponsive on the beach. Shamika Mitchell, the mother of the child, is now in custody with a bond set at $50,000.

The situation came to light when Mitchell's teenage son contacted the police, expressing concern for his younger brother. He reported that his mother claimed to have left the baby with his father, but he doubted this, as the father resides in Detroit. The teenager also expressed concerns about his mother's mental state.

Passersby discovered the 1-year-old alone on the beach and attempted to provide warmth and care, noting that the child was cold, shivering, and had a wet diaper. When a deputy arrived, the baby was unresponsive with a shallow but elevated pulse. Efforts were made to stimulate blood circulation until the Volusia County EMS took over the child's care. The current condition of the baby has not been disclosed by the Daytona Beach Police Department.

At the time of the incident, Mitchell was with three other children, who were subsequently taken into the custody of the Department of Children and Families. The children's grandparents are reportedly traveling from Detroit to care for them.

Hull’s Seafood

For nearly five decades, Captain Jimmy Hull has been a stalwart figure in Ormond Beach's fishing community. His career, spanning 47 years, is a tapestry of diverse roles: from harvesting fish and crabs to running a successful seafood market and restaurant. At 68, Hull, the recipient of the 2023 National Fisherman Highliner Award, reflects on a life dedicated to the sea and its bounty.

Hull's journey began in his youth, navigating the waters of northeast Florida's Ponce Inlet. By 18, he had earned his U.S. Coast Guard captain's license, a significant milestone that paved the way for his future endeavors. His early years were marked by learning from seasoned captains and eventually owning his fishing boat at 20.

His career took a turn towards entrepreneurship when he purchased a small, closed fish market in Ormond Beach. Hull transformed this venture into Hull Seafood Market and Restaurant, a thriving hub with 125 employees, four commercial boats, and accolades from the U.S. Senate and the Florida Governor's office.

Despite his business success, Hull remains deeply connected to fishing, actively participating in various species' capture. His commitment extends beyond the boat; he's been instrumental in shaping fisheries management and conservation efforts, working with scientists and serving on influential panels and advisory committees.

However, Hull voices concerns about the future of commercial fishing, highlighting challenges like unfair allocations and the decline of working waterfronts. He advocates for a balanced approach to fisheries management, emphasizing the need for fair representation and accountability.

As he continues to navigate these waters, Hull's legacy is marked by his dedication to his craft, his community, and the environment.

Hull’s Seafood is conveniently located at 111 West Granada Boulevard, Ormond Beach. They are open every day from 10:30am to 9pm, ready to serve you with a smile.
