The jealousy of a Pennsylvania mother took the life of a two-year-old after she took out her frustration on her two kids as she believed that the children's father was cheating on her. She sent a video showing one of the child's lifeless body and many messages pertaining to harming the children but the father failed to alert authorities so he has been arrested and charged.
The father, identified as 23-year-old Andrew Price, Jr. He was charged with two counts of felony endangering the welfare of a child as per a news release from police officials in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.
Price is the father of the 17-month-old toddler allegedly smothered onto an air mattress resulting in his death. The mother, 21-year-old Christian Clark, admitted to the killings. She also tried to kill their two-year-old daughter by also smothering her onto the air mattress, People reported.
For more than two hours, Clark texted Price messages threatening to kill their children. Price reportedly made no efforts to intervene or sent first responders.
In the messages that Clark sent, she said that she would kill the two children and would ruin her and Price's life. She also wrote in another text, "Andre is dead cus daddy couldn't tell the truth."
Hours before the killing, Price reportedly left home early and she believes he was out because he was going to see another woman. In the video that was sent by Clark, she was heard saying that Angel, the daughter, was still alive and sweating while their son is no longer breathing.
Later, Clark sent a message saying that she was sorry and did not mean to kill the toddler. Clark then called 911 and initially, she told police that her son was unresponsive and did not know what happened. The toddler was brought to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Inquisitr reported that this is not the first time that Clark became violent towards their kids and Price has not alerted authorities about it. During a previous incident, Clark became upset after she and Price broke up so she sent Price a photo showing her holding her son in the air by the throat.
Clark is being held without bail in the Allegheny County jail and was charged with criminal homicide and attempted homicide. A preliminary hearing is set on Nov. 16.
