Mum Found Swinging Dead Son In Children’s Park

The woman is believed to have been pushing the three-year-old boy back and forth on the swing throughout the night before police intervened.

It is unclear what the cause of death was but the child was “obviously deceased” and is understood to have been dead for several hours before being discovered at the Wills Memorial Park in La Plata, Maryland.

There were no obvious signs of injury and a post mortem will be carried out to determine the cause of death, according to the Charles County Sheriff’s Office.

Police discovered the mother, 24, and dead child at 7am on Friday after being called a few minutes earlier by a witness who was worried about them and said they had been there for a long time, possibly since the previous day.

Other witnesses have told the police they saw the mother and child at the park the previous day. Police are trying to determine whether the mother left the park at all or if she stayed there continuously.
