FLINT, MI -- The 26-year-old mother who put her infant twin daughters inside a suitcase and tossed it to the curb could lose custody of her four children.

Katrina Marie Childress was arraigned Friday, April 27, in Genesee District Court on two counts of second-degree child abuse and two counts of unlawful imprisonment.

Childress is being held in the Genesee County Jail in lieu of $600,000 bond.

Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton filed a petition for jurisdiction over Childress' four children.

There will be a hearing to determine if Childress can retain her parental rights.

"Termination is a last resort," Leyton said.

Childress was walking with her infant twin girls and two young sons near a park on the city's south side on Wednesday, April 18.

A Flint police officer came upon Childress and noticed that her children were not appropriately dressed for the cold weather, Leyton previously said.

The officer took Childress and her four children to her home on the north side.

When the officer went inside the house, it was in disarray and the officer called Genesee County Child Protective Services.

Childress then began to tidy up the home as Flint police waited outside for CPS to arrive.

She came outside and put a suitcase out by the curb with the twin girls inside, Leyton said.

Childress then ran out the back of the house.

She was caught by police after a short pursuit.

The twin girls were taken to Hurley Medical Center and were not seriously injured.

The girls, along with the woman's 3-year-old and 4-year-old sons, were placed in temporary foster care.

Leyton said he petitioned the court to seek jurisdiction over the children on March 18.

Childress will be back in court at 1 p.m. on May 10 before Genesee District Judge Jennifer Manley.
