Police in Michigan responded to a 911 call this weekend just in time to stop a mother from allegedly drowning her two-year-old child, according to court documents and disturbing body camera footage of the incident.
Officers responded to the home in Albion, Michigan after receiving a call that included sounds of children screaming, the Albion Department of Public Safety said in a statement. Upon arrival, they kicked in a locked bathroom door and allegedly found a woman, Jessica Edward-Ricks, 35, holding her two-year-old child underwater in a bathtub.
Police then took the child from the woman and performed CPR on it in the home’s living room.
