Mom Charged With Killing Daughter With Lysol


A teenage mother was ordered to stand trial Tuesday, on charges of poisoning her infant daughter when the child would not stop crying.

It happened in the city of Visalia, in California.

Investigators testified that Shyla Chapman, 19, told them she sprayed Lysol in the face of her daughter, Tamme Mae Logan, after the baby would not stop crying.

She called 911 on August 16 to report her baby was having problems.

Chapman was taken into custody last year after a toxicology report found the baby had lethal levels of a chemical found in household cleaners in her blood.

Chapman told officials she was upset that no one helped her care for the baby and was seeking psychiatric help after giving birth.

She faces charges of first-degree murder and child abuse resulting in death.
