A woman police believe was intoxicated walked along a northeast Houston street carrying a dead, abused baby in her arms Wednesday afternoon, officers told KPRC-TV in Houston.
Neighbors called police when they spotted the woman, who said she is the baby sitter of the 1 ½-year-old child. The woman, who smelled of beer, was asking for help, witnesses said.
Melcher dialed 911. When police arrived, she could not believe what happened next.
"When the police got here, they told her to put the baby down. And when she tried to put him down, she dropped him," she said.
"There's a possibility that she could be intoxicated, but we'll have to look into that a little bit further," Newcomb said.
Investigators are trying to determine who are the child's parents, because it was difficult communicating with the woman.
"We don't know who the mother is of the child. We only know that this is the caretaker," Newcomb said.
The woman lives on the street where she was found with the baby.
