Police: Man cleaning pool stops mother from drowning baby boy
Associated PressTuesday, June 26, 2001
NORTH MIAMI, Fla. -- A maintenance worker cleaning a pool saw a woman
trying to drown her 6-month-old son and rescued the boy, police said.
Dago Hernandez was pouring bleach into a pool at an apartment complex
Monday when he heard Elsie Lazare-Louis screaming in Creole. Hernandez
said he saw the woman holding her infant son under the water with both
hands. He pulled the child out of the water and called 911.
The boy, Daniel, was taken to a hospital and then placed in state
custody, police Detective Kathleen Ruggiero said.
Lazare-Louis, 35, was charged with first-degree attempted murder and
taken to a hospital for a psychiatric evaluation. She was later taken to
jail.
The woman's two other children, ages 9 and 12, will be placed in state
custody after they return from summer camp at the end of the week,
Ruggiero said.
Police said Lazare-Louis made prior attempts to kill the baby. Three
public works employees saw her lying on top of the boy in the street
earlier Monday, but she disappeared before police arrived, Ruggiero
said. On Saturday, a neighbor told police, she walked into the street
with the baby and screamed for a car to hit them
