In a bizarre attempted homicide in Florida, a woman is accused of using a social media game’s chat function to coerce a 10-year-old girl to drop an infant on its head and burn her adult guardians alive.

On Oct. 17, the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office was contacted by the Gulf Coast Kid’s House in Pensacola regarding a two-month-old boy who’d been seriously injured after being dropped on a tile floor by the young girl.
