DETROIT (AP) -- An 8-month-old girl died Sunday in a five-gallon bucket of household cleaning fluids, police said.

Detroit police officials told WXYZ-TV the mother admitted she had been bathing the baby in a mix of Pine Sol and Mr. Clean

"It had some water in it and we believe some kind of cleaning solution in the water," homicide investigator Barbara Simon said.

Several neighbors who heard the woman screaming tried to revive the infant girl, but she was pronounced dead at a Detroit hospital.

Police were questioning the mother Sunday night. An autopsy was set for Monday.

Tragic. Prayers for the little girl.

As for the mother she perhaps needs to have her tubes tied.

Some people are simply defective units. They should be returned to their maker.

(The mom qualifies in my opinion)

They'll sue the Pine Sol manufacturer for not having a label: "Warning: Do not use this product to bathe babies."

This mother and her relatives should be incinerated so that their DNA does not pollute the world any further.

There were some other articles about this.

The mother first told the police that she went to sleep and her 7 year old woke her up and found the baby on the bathroom floor with the bucket tipped on it.

Upon further investigation it was learned that she actually was bathing the baby in the cleansers.

The mother is 25, she has 5 children.

Way too many depressing stories of kids dying on FR. I guess it is a news forum, and stupid parents killing their babies is news, i just wish it didn't happen so often.

A more potent solution for the mother - dump her in head first and drown her in it.

There's something maddening about the sheer stupidity of this woman; this reminds me of the morons who set off the pyrotechnic display in that tiny club with the 9-foot ceiling and burned 100 people to death.

I don't know why you continue to post morbid stories year after year. I didn't read this one either. I think I'll go outside and get sick.
