A 21-year-old woman allegedly killed her 17-month-old son and attempted to do the same to her two-year-old daughter. The woman reportedly sent a video showing her son's lifeless body to the boy's father in a series of enraged text messages because of jealousy.
The green-eyed monster was identified as Christian Clark and the text messages were sent to the father of her children in a span of almost three hours, Daily Mirror reported. The Pittsburgh mother's son was identified as Andre Price III and the two-year-old daughter was identified as Angel. In one text message, Clark told her boyfriend to better pray for the children.
Clark believed that Andrew Price Jr. was cheating on her. In one of the videos sent to Andrew Price Jr., Clark was seen filming the two-year-old girl lying face down on a bed then panned showing the 17-month-old boy also lying face down. The 17-month-old baby reportedly died from being smothered into the bedding of an air mattress. She tried to do the same with the daughter but was unsuccessful.
In one of the videos, Clark was heard saying, "Ahh, look, Angel is still alive and sweating. Your son on the other hand is not even breathing." Andrew Price Jr. reportedly replied saying that she should send it to the cops or post it on Facebook because he does not care anymore as he thinks Clark ruined his life. He also prompted Clark to hold the baby boy and that was when she said she called 911.
The messages were sent at around 8:25 P.M. through 11:12 P.M. Initially, Clark said that she does not want the children with her because they are not safe with her since she threatened to take her anger out on them. She also said that Andrew Price Jr. should answer her or she would go to jail for child endangerment.
Alleghany County Police Department Superintendent Coleman McDonough said in a statement that Clark admitted to smothering her son in an air mattress on Tuesday, Fox News reported. She told authorities that she had no idea what happened to her son but eventually admitted to killing him when the text messages were shown to her.
Life-saving measures were not successful in reviving the 17-month-old boy. The two-year-old girl, on the other hand, was reportedly being treated at a hospital.
