Toronto police have charged a 19-year-old woman with second-degree murder and arson after her four-month-old baby died in a fire last week. Authorities say the tragic incident occurred in a northwest neighborhood of the city, where both the woman and the infant were rescued from the blaze. The baby girl was taken to the hospital but unfortunately pronounced dead shortly thereafter, while the mother suffered serious injuries, necessitating her own hospitalization.
In expressing the gravity of the situation, police emphasized the charges are due to the circumstances surrounding the fire, stating the woman acted 'with disregard for human life.' This classification elevates the seriousness of the charges and underlines the police's commitment to addressing crimes against vulnerable individuals.
