A 2-month-old was seriously injured after a 10-year-old dropped the baby on a tile floor, authorities in Florida said while announcing the arrest of a 36-year-old woman who allegedly instructed the child via online video game Roblox on how to kill the infant. Tara Alexis Sykes was taken into custody on Friday and charged with attempted murder while engaged in aggravated child abuse, the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post on Monday.
The foster father picked up the baby and took him to the hospital where doctors said he had a skull fracture. Morgan Lewis, a spokesperson with the sheriff’s office, said the 2-month-old is expected to survive. The 10-year-old allegedly said during a forensic interview that she dropped the baby 'on the floor at the direction of her mother,' the arrest report stated.
