A 19-year-old has been charged after her baby was found dead. Officials suspect the Georgia teen drowned the 16-month-old boy in a bathtub.
Madison Lee Stewart was arrested and charged with murder in Warner Robins.
She was living in a safe house for battered women in the town.
Apparently, Stewart woke up early in the morning when the baby started crying and carried him into the bathroom.
She filled the bathtub and held the baby down.
“She got up, the baby was crying and she went to the restroom; had the baby, and the baby quit crying and then, at some point while she was in the bathroom, she filled the tub with water and held the baby down until it drowned,” Houston County sheriff’s Capt. Randall Banks told the Telegraph.
“The circumstances of the killing show an abandoned and malignant heart,” the arrest warrant said.
