A three-year-old boy was found dead in a Southern Maryland park where his mother allegedly pushed him on the swings ... for two days.
Ji’Aire Donnell Lee was alive when his mother put him on the swing, where he stayed for the aforementioned length of time, police say.
A medical examiner’s office ruled his death a homicide, and the sheriff’s office said that the boy died of hypothermia and dehydration.
The report will be sent to the state attorney’s office, which will decide whether to file charges against Ji’Aire’s mother, Romechia Simms.
Ji’Aire was dead when police found his mother pushing him on May 22. At the time, police were unsure of when and how he had died.
On Tuesday, the sheriff’s office said its investigation revealed that Simms, 24, arrived at the park with her son about 11:15 a.m. May 20.
Simms, who had previously experienced a mental breakdown, stayed in the park for nearly 44 hours, pushing Ji’Aire on the swing.
Early on the morning of May 22, someone who had spotted the pair at the park the day before grew suspicious and called the police.
At 6:55 a.m., after a night during which the temperature fell to 51 degrees, police found the dead child and his mother in the park.
