Mom Accused of Killing Her Baby

(Anderson County, South Carolina) An 18-year-old mother, Danielle Bowen, was arrested yesterday for allegedly killing her baby daughter. She has been charged with homicide by child abuse.

Deputies said Bowen called paramedics to her home after her 6-month-old daughter, Haley, stopped breathing. Emergency crews were able to revive the baby girl, but she died about seven hours later at the hospital.

According to the arrest warrant, Bowen stepped on, slapped and choked Haley and then left the baby unattended for almost 30 minutes.

Bowen's other child, a two-year-old, has been placed with the Department of Social Services.

Bowen awaits a bond hearing.
