A mother is accused of giving a family member bleach to feed her 13-month-old baby instead of baby formula.
The incident goes back to Jan. 2 after a relative said that Melissa Barnes , 22, had given her a bottle containing bleach to feed her 13-month-old child, said the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.
"This case is deeply disturbing. No child deserves to be subjected to such dangerous and neglectful conditions," Sheriff Chad Chronister said. When the relative confronted Barnes about the incident, she claimed she had used bleach to rinse the bottle, HCSO reported. The Department of Children and Families immediately got involved and took the child from the mother's care, placing them with another relative.Detectives with the HCSO obtained a search warrant for the shed where they found bleach-based disinfectant and paint.
