Mother Allegedly Drowns Her 11-Month-Old Baby In Bucket
MOTHER – A mother from Lanao Del Norte was accused of drowning her 11-month-old daughter in a bucket.
Babies are very fragile especially the newborn ones. They get sick easily since they don’t have that strong immune system yet.
Most parents want to provide the best care they could give to their child. Some even got to the extent of keeping their child in their house for several months just to protect it from harmful viruses.
There are also parents who are so confident with their newborn child. They proudly show it to their friends and even go on travel somewhere. It really all depends on the parents.
Recently, a child in Cebu City passed away after her mother allegedly drowned her to death on a bucket.
Based on a report from ABS-CBN News, the 11-months-old baby was found by her grandfather unconscious in a bucket on Friday evening, July 26.
The old man, his 31-year-old daughter, and his granddaughter stayed in a dormitory in Cebu. The old man told the authorities they are from Lanao Del Norte and they are in the city to meet some ‘witch doctor’ to ask for help with the baby’s fever and cough.
On Friday afternoon, he went out from their rented room to buy some water. When he went back around 6 p.m., he found the unconscious baby on the bucket.
According to the report, the old man immediately brought the child to a nearby hospital but died later on. He then reported the incident to the authorities and let his daughter get arrested by the cops.
Police Staff Sgt. Andrew Denila of Waterfront Police Station said the suspect has been acting irrationally before the incident. The old man also said his daughter has been experiencing depression before.
“Ayon pa sa lolo, nang pumasok siya sa kuwarto para hanapin ang apo, ang tanging sabi ng ina ay hindi niya kilala ang bata sa loob ng CR,” Denila said.
Based on the report, the mother is currently detained at the Waterfront Police Station and is she’ll undergo a psychiatric test soon.
The authorities file filed a parricide case against the mother who persecuted her own child.
