ESCAMBIA COUNTY, Fla. (WRKG) — A Pensacola woman is behind bars after allegedly pouring alcohol into her child’s baby bottle, according to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.
Cecil LaToya Bryant, 28, was charged with aggravated child abuse.
On Nov. 1, deputies said they responded to a possible child abuse. Deputies said when they arrived, they talked with an investigator with the Department of Children and Family Services, who said the baby had a .142 blood alcohol level.
Deputies then spoke with the reporting party who said on Oct. 31, 2022, she threw a Halloween party at her house. The reporting party said she had been cooking all evening and went to take a bath when Bryant offered to make bottles. The reporting party said multiple people were at the residence and were helping watch the children.
When the reporting party attempted to give the baby the unfinished bottle from a few hours prior, she said the baby’s mouth smelled like watermelon. She said she tasted the bottle of formula, which tasted like watermelon Smirnoff. The baby then fell asleep on and off and began vomiting.
The DCF investigator reviewed footage of the living room camera and saw Bryant grabbing the baby bottle and returning from the kitchen while shaking a liquid in the bottle. The investigator said she saw the baby reject the bottle and a witness smell the bottle while making a facial expression of displeasure.
The nurse at the hospital gave a copy of the victim’s lab results to deputies indicating the .142 blood toxicology report. The nurse said she contacted Poison Control, which advised the blood alcohol range of concern for an adolescent is between .05 and .075. With the baby having a level of .142, the nurse said he was exposed to a possibility for severe toxicity, low respirations and alternative mental status. The baby was admitted and went under observation.
Bryant was booked into the Escambia County Jail on a $7,500 bond on Nov. 18, and was released a couple of hours later.
Such a wonderful mother. /sarc
Disgusting.
What’s wrong with people these days?
You don’t teach kids to drink, you let them learn it on their own!
Clicked link. Yup.
The headline can be read to mean at least three separate actions. At first, I thought the topic was
Putting a ‘baby watermelon’ into a Smirnoff bottle, then getting arrested for it. I didn’t know there were laws against that!
Latoya...
Watermelon drank...
FFS. All that is missing is shooting a McDonald’s employee for missing cheese on a bigmac.
Could’ve been worse. It could have been Fireball.
Because if the second she is lucky to be alive.
This is “Lower Alabama” not really Florida...
Not how I misread it. I thought there was a miniature watermelon that she was attempting to infuse with Vodka.
Her mama named her Shinquanishalingus, but Shinquanishalingus never could spell it, so mama changed her name to Cecil.
That’s yet another possibile reading.
IQ = 56
From the photo, can we infer that infant alcohol abuse is a family tradition?
If anyone can put a watermelon in a Smirnoff bottle, they deserve a medal!
I agree, based on my own personal experiences !🤪
