No arrests have been made in relation to the youngster's death, however police are beginning their investigation.
One of the investigators involved with the case told the New York Post the case is a 'horror show'.
'We’re in a holding pattern right now,' the cop said. 'He’s a young child... The mother’s pretty upset, like any mother would be.
'At this point, it just looks like a horror show.'
Police believe Jawad drove from her home in Staten Island to where her mother, who was the primary carer for the seven-month-old boy, lives.
According to the Post, she crossed the Verrazano Bridge into the borough about 5am.

Jawad and her mother then took young Dameen's body to the hospital, where staff called police and reported a potential child-neglect fatality.
The newspaper also spoke to neighbors who claimed the home where Jawad lives is visited by people who 'smoke and sell drugs'.
Meanwhile, Dameen's uncle said he was heartbroken to lose his nephew.
'We’re just lost right now,' he told The Post. 'He is an angel. He didn’t see life.'
