A 4yearold girl died in Baton Rouge, Louisiana on Friday after her grandmother forced her to drink a bottle of whiskey, local police said.
Police were called because the child passed out and did not regain consciousness, but when agents arrived they found that she was already dead.
During the statements, the police learned that the grandmother forced them to drink the whiskey while the mother watched idly.
The autopsy examination revealed that the 4yearold China Record died of acute alcohol poisoning. The report showed that she had a blood alcohol content of 0.680%, a level believed to be eight times higher than the legal limit for an adult to drive, which is 0.08%.
His grandmother, Roxanne Record, 53, and mother, Kadjah Record, 29, have been arrested and will face trial on firstdegree murder, according to Baton Rouge Police Departments.
A defense of the accused could not be reached for a statement on the allegations.

TEQUILA AT SCHOOL
A kindergartener at a Michigan school took a tequila drink to school last week and shared it with four other classmates, school officials told parents.
A school spokesman described the drink as “a premixed alcoholic drink, similar to ‘Margherita.’
The margarita is a heavily alcoholic concoction of tequila and lime juice and was given out to the kids at recess.
The student brought the drink, which is already premixed and hidden in the backpack. Many students drank, thinking it was lemonade, and got dizzy.
One of the school staff noticed what was happening and took the bottle from the student’s hand, and the school quickly initiated an emergency protocol, calling doctors and the children’s mothers.
