Passed-Out Mom May Have Crushed Toddler

An Indiana mother was arrested and jailed this morning after her toddler son was found trapped and unconscious underneath the passed-out woman and was declared dead an hour later.

Indianapolis police responded to an emergency call shortly after 12:30 a.m. this morning about a possible dead child inside a room at a local Econo Lodge, Sgt. Matthew Mount, a spokesman for the Indiana Metropolitan Police, told ABC News.

The call was made by the boyfriend of 24-year-old Latasha McMorris, Mount said. The boyfriend told police that he had arrived at the hotel room to find McMorris passed out on top of her son, 2-year-old Sheldon Bartley Jr. The boyfriend was not the father of the child, Mount said.

"The boyfriend discovered the baby was not breathing," Mount said. "He called 911 for help." ...

McMorris temporarily lost custody of her son and a 6-year-old daughter after a July arrest that led to a conviction on another felony neglect charge, Mount said. She was arrested four times for public intoxication between Dec. 16 and Jan. 30, Mount confirmed.

She doesn't really look like someone who would be named Latasha.

What a stupid bitch. She needs shot in the face.
