Pittsburgh police arrested a mother on charges she tried to poison her baby with table salt. Amber Brewington, 21, was arrested at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh Wednesday morning.
Police said a hospital staff member saw Brewington tampering with the 4-month-old’s feeding tube late Tuesday night.
The boy was transferred to Children’s Hospital on July 9 from Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tenn., to be treated for high levels of sodium. The boy’s father has been at his side since then.
During that time, the boy's father traveled with him and his condition began to improve, police Cmdr. Thomas Stangrecki said.
But the boy's condition declined after his mother visited him on Sunday and again on Tuesday night, leading to Brewington's arrest, Stangrecki said.
Pittsburgh police questioned Brewington early Wednesday morning. They said they found a canister of salt and a syringe in her backpack. Police also said Brewington confessed to doctors.
She is currently in the Allegheny County Jail. She faces charges of attempted homicide, aggravated assault and endangering the welfare of children. Police said they will not charge the boy’s father.
Brewington has two children with the son's father and a third child by another man, Stangrecki said.
