I wish they would elaborate on mysterious circumstances.

Washington's three other children, ages 2, 3 and 4, were at the apartment when officers arrived. All three have been placed into protective custody.

I hope CPS looks those children over thoroughly.

the comments after this article are aluding to a boyfriend killing this little one. Her name was Jewell, btw.

Charges were filed this afternoon. Washington told police she caused the injuries that resulted in her daughter's death by squeezing, shaking and slamming the baby into a pumpkin seat.

The beating resulted in internal injuries to the baby's organs as well as brain injuries, according to court documents.

Okay, I feel like an idiot now, but what is a pumpkin seat?
