The baby’s father notified the police at around 6:20 p.m. Saturday, after receiving the video from his former girlfriend, the arrest report stated, the outlet reported.
The suspect allegedly also texted the father a photo of their daughter allegedly on a bed with her nose and mouth covered by a blanket, which officials said “appeared to restrict [her] breathing,” the report stated, according to the outlet.
“I’m stuck with this thing until she dies,” the suspect allegedly wrote in the text, according to the arrest report, WPLG reported. “It makes me so sick that she doesn’t have a different father and I can’t love her because she has a part of you. I’m gonna enjoy my 20s. Left ur sperm in the house with a cat.”
She added that she would punch their daughter “dead in the face,” police alleged she said in the text. (RELATED: Woman Receives 25-Years-To-Life For Sedating Special Needs Son To Death)

In March 2021, the suspect was arrested in Florida’s Miami-Dade County under charges of attempted battery, according to county records.
