A Maryland mother was found early yesterday Friday May 22nd pushing her
dead 3-year-old boy on a park swing, according to US police. Officers
responded to a call around 7 a.m. to check on a
woman who witnesses said had been pushing a child for hours on a swing
at Wills Memorial Park in La Plata, Washington, D.C., said Charles
County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Diane
Richardson.
One witness told deputies she found it strange that the woman had been
pushing the child for an unusually long period of time, possibly since
the day before, Richardson said.
When the officers arrived they found the 24-year-old woman
still pushing the child in the swing, and they realized immediately
that the boy was dead, Richardson said.
The child had no signs of obvious trauma, she said, and had been dead for at least several hours.
The office of the chief medical examiner in Baltimore will perform an autopsy on the boy.
The mother, who was not identified, was transported to a
nearby hospital for medical tests, police said. The investigation is
ongoing.
