According to the sheriff’s office, investigators were contacted Thursday by the Gulf Coast Kids House about a 2-month-old infant who had suffered serious injuries after being dropped on the kitchen floor by a 10-year-old. During the investigation, it was learned that the older child was communicating with Tara Alexis Sykes through Roblox.
Investigators said that Sykes told the 10-year-old about various methods to kill the infant. Sykes instructed the child to drown the infant in the bathtub, burn the infant with scalding water and drop the infant on the floor to kill the infant, according to authorities.
Sykes also instructed the child how to kill the adults the 10-year-old was temporarily living with by cutting their throats with a knife while they slept and burning their house by dousing bed sheets with aerosol spray and setting them on fire.
Officials said the child doused the sheets but was unable to fully carry out the instructions.
