Father seeks custody of baby rescued from toilet; mother remains jailed

The father of an infant rescued from a toilet is seeking custody while the mother remains jailed in southwestern Illinois on attempted murder charges.

BELLEVILLE, Ill. —

The father of an infant rescued from a toilet is seeking custody while the mother remains jailed in southwestern Illinois on attempted murder charges.

Edward Goodrich of Belleville appeared with his attorney at a custody hearing Tuesday, but no action was taken and the child remains in a foster home. Another hearing is scheduled for April 7.

Authorities say 23-year-old Elyse Mamino (MAM'-ih-noh) delivered a baby girl in a Columbia home's bathroom during a family party in November and tried to drown her in the toilet.

After her arrest, authorities found the remains of an infant in Mamino's Belleville home. The cause of that infant's death remains unclear, and no charges have been filed in that case.

Mamino has pleaded not guilty.
