A Florida woman was arrested on Thursday for allegedly stomping on her 10-month-old.
Alicia Brea’s friend reportedly contacted authorities about Brea, 18, sending her pictures of her stomping on the baby’s face. Hollywood police officers who responded to Brea’s home did not see injuries to the baby, but a search of her phone uncovered pictures of the abuse, according to WPLG.
Police said the baby was wearing the same clothes in the photo when they arrived.
Law & Crime reported that Brea also sent the pictures to the baby’s father. She allegedly claimed that she sent him additional pictures showing that the infant was unharmed.
“[Brea] stated she was upset with her baby’s father and sent him a picture of her stepping (with her right foot) on the baby’s head to see if the baby’s father would come back to her,” police wrote in the affidavit. “[Brea] stated she and the baby’s father had broken up earlier today and (she) was very upset.”
Brea, who is charged with child abuse without great bodily harm, was released from custody on a $20,000 bond. She is barred from having contact with her child as a condition of her release.
