A mother was accused of kicking her 4-year-old daughter out of a second-story window, leaving the child with two broken arms in Shreveport, Louisiana, US.
According to information from the Bossier City Police Department obtained by Law and Crime, detectives began investigating after the victim was brought to a hospital with both wrists and forearms broken.
“After the detectives began investigating, they found out that the mother of the child pushed her, kicked her out of the window,” Sergeant Shawn Poudrier said.
Investigators attempted to contact the victim’s mother, 37-year-old Sharonica Davis, but learned that she was already in jail after being charged with cruelty to juveniles in relation to the same window kicking incident.
The Bossier City Police Department added an additional charge of attempted second-degree murder, the outlet reported.
The child was placed in the care of the Department of Children and Family Services.
“It’s a sad situation, that’s why I take this so personal,” Poudrier told KTAL.
“You know, I have three small kids, and you see, this work in these cases takes an emotional toll on you. And you want to try to protect every one of them that you can.”
