An 18-month-old child was poisoned to death after ingesting batteries and screws, and now the girlfriend of the baby's father has been arrested on homicide charges.
Aleisia Lynnae Owens, 20, was charged with three counts of homicide, five counts of aggravated assault and one count of endangering the welfare of children in connection to Iris Rita Alfera's death in Pennsylvania.
Iris was taken to the hospital on June 25 and was held in the PICU until she died on June 29.
During an investigation, New Castle police found Owens conducted extensive online research on harmful substances for children and it was later revealed the toddler died from acetone poisoning.
'Tell the world that monsters do exist,' Crystal Joseph, a relative of Iris, said on behalf of baby's grieving family.
The baby's autopsy revealed she had traces of acetone in her blood, which led to organ failure, according to authorities. Acetone is found in nail and varnish remover.
The New Castle Police Department also revealed that months before Iris's tragic death, she had ingested numerous 'water beads' which were later found, expanded in her digestive system. Water beads are made of silicone and are circular decorations kept in a jar.
The baby also ingested button-shaped batteries and metal screws, which showed up in her diapers, authorities said.
The items were all ingested between March 30 and April 1, according to WPIX, months before she died.
Police found that Owens had searched Google several times between February and June asking questions about children drinking acetone, poisonous beauty products, water beads near me, what happens if a baby swallows a batter button and medications that shouldn't be given to babies.

Now that I've asked that I can't believe the dad did not marry the mom of this baby and was dating this girl. It's like he traded in a Ford Mustang for a Ford Pinto.
rope, tree, hole
Sick people in the world today.
The son of a friend of mine is a cop in New Castle. I admire his restraint.
That picture the baby made me tear up. The picture of the insect that did this on the right shares the common trait of most perps nowadays.
Every separated parent has to worry over this when they have to consent to visitation……STAY MARRIED …..for the kids sake.
It is just a very late term abortion. By someone else besides the mom.
Hey come on, it’s a womans right to choose.
She was NOT the mother, she was Daddy’s new girlfriend
I can’t help but wonder when the left will defend this woman for her ‘post-birth abortion’ and/or use this tragedy to attack pro-life measures in red states...
(I really, REALLY wish that was sarcasm)
The innocent daughter is in the arms of God. She will rest, in peace, in Heaven.
The evil “Girlfriend,” is being tortured by the devil in Hell!
Amen.
.
The murderous “girlfriend” looks to be a child herself.
Apparently water beads are used for crafts. Here is what they can do if ingested:
“Missouri Poison Center
Water beads are undigestible. If someone accidentally swallows a water bead, the bead absorbs the body’s fluids and can expand to a size that can cause intestinal or bowel blockage known as an obstruction. Even very small water bead crystals pose a serious risk.”
People on our side of the political aisle already know that...
Assuming she’s even a biological female.
this is promiscuity brings...no bonding in families...
nuclear family is the safest way to raise up a child....
After looking at the pix, I think it was racially motivated.
I’ll bring the rope.
