Sad Update: 4YO Dies After Being Forced To Drink Bottle Of Whiskey By Grandmother, Mother Watched

[Sugar Cookie]

A 4-year-old girl is dead after her grandmother allegedly forced her to drink a bottle of whiskey while her mother watched, Baton Rouge Police said.

Sgt. L’Jean McKneely, a police spokesperson, told news outlets the little girl's grandmother, Roxanne Record, 53, and mother, Kadjah Record, 29, were arrested Friday, each on a charge of first-degree murder.

Officers were sent to a Baton Rouge home around 11 a.m. Thursday after reports of an unresponsive child. The child, 4-year-old China Record, was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

The East Baton Rouge Parish Coroner’s Office said an autopsy showed a cause of death was acute alcohol poisoning. The little girl had a blood-alcohol level of .680%, more than eight times the .08% driving limit for an adult, authorities said.

While investigating, detectives say they learned the victim’s grandmother forced her to drink a bottle of the alcohol while the mother watched.

While investigating, detectives said they learned the victim’s grandmother forced her to drink a bottle of whiskey while the mother watched. The warrant for her arrest stated the toddler’s BAC was .680.

The document further stated the child’s grandmother and mother were angry because she may have drunk alcohol from the bottle of whiskey that was on the counter, so the grandmother allegedly forced the toddler to drink the rest of the liquor that was in the bottle, which was possibly more than half full. It added the young girl had to drink the alcohol while on her knees in the hallway and the victim’s mother was there but failed to stop the girl’s grandmother from giving her the liquor.

The arrest warrant stated Roxanne Record told investigators “she messed up” and “wanted to take full responsibility” for the child’s death. The grandmother also reportedly said “this went too far” and “she ruined everyone’s lives.”


The warrant added Kadjha Record admitted seeing her mother leave the kitchen with the bottle of liquor and the bottle was empty when she returned, then later saw the child was unresponsive but investigators said she gave several inconsistent statements.

A BAL of .5 can kill a healty, well-built adult. When grandma was finished with her, China probably had more booze in her blood than blood.

The level of trust a child places in its caregivers truly knows no bounds and Roxanne Record used that against China.

I have my doubts whether the first degree murder charge will stick because, AFAIK, it would have to be proven that there was intent to kill. Record will no doubt claim that she wanted to teach China a lesson because she "may have" drunk some of grandma's booze (which is highly speculative).

I'm just glad that these two human beasts have been named and shamed.

Looking at the faces of these two asshats, they don't look like they can rub a fucking braincell together between the two of them. They have probably pickled what little intelligence they started with.

Poor kid was doomed.

I learned that this kind of punishment does not work. When I was in high school, making my brothers like 12 and 7, my mother found out they were smoking her cigarettes. So she marched them across the back yard to a shed and put them in there and gave them a pack of cigarettes and told them they couldn't come back into the house until they had smoked every one of them. I could see them from my bedroom window and they were leaning out of the door of the shed throwing up but still smoking. Today my brothers, 61 and 55, still smoke, all day everyday. My younger brother has COPD and other lung issues and is on oxygen, can't even breathe for 10 minutes without it. So what did the punishment accomplish? Absolutely nothing.

I am still under the belief that Mom drank the whiskey and grandma got pissed, but that dim as fuck lightbulb went off in mom's inebriated head and she blamed the kid.

A 57-year-old Louisiana grandmother is on trial for allegedly killing her 4-year-old granddaughter by forcing the child to drink more than half a pint of whiskey as punishment, a case prosecutors say reflects a pattern of cruelty inside the home.

Roxanne Record faces charges of first-degree murder and cruelty to a juvenile in the death of China Record.

Kadjah Record — Roxanne Record's daughter and China's mother — is also charged with murder for allegedly watching the fatal punishment take place and failing to intervene. She is scheduled to appear in court later this summer.

At the start of trial, prosecutors laid out a disturbing account of the child's final hours, arguing the killing was the culmination of long-standing abuse, according to a report from The Advocate. Assistant District Attorney Dana Cummings told jurors the case was about a grandmother who cared for some of her grandkids while demonizing others.

Speaking about the love and safety typically associated with grandparents, Cummings said China "didn't have that."

"China never had that because her grandmother never, ever took to her, never liked her, treated her differently than she treated the other children," she reportedly said.

Several other children in the house had also been conditioned to view China's consumption of basic necessities, such as food and water, as "stealing," according to Cummings.


"The way that the children referred to it, the way that everybody in that house referred to it, was that it was stealing," Cummings told jurors. "In fact, you will hear the kids' interviews where they say, 'You know she stole. She stole all the time.' What did she steal? Food, water. Stole water at her own home."

As Law&Crime previously reported, the punishment on the night in question came in response to China allegedly taking a sip from a bottle of Canadian Mist whiskey that had been left on the counter. When Roxanne Record found out, she allegedly "had [China] get on their knees in the hallway, finish off that alcohol, and then just went on with daily life while she died."

Police responded to the family's home in the 12000 block of Wallis Street in April 2022 a short time later and found China unresponsive. She was pronounced dead within two hours of being forced to drink the whiskey.


Officials said her blood alcohol content measured .680 — more than eight times the legal limit for adult drivers in Louisiana.

Defense attorney Caitlin Fowlkes reportedly countered that the state would be unable to prove the specific intent required for a conviction on first-degree murder, calling the child's death a tragic accident rather than a deliberate killing.


"That little girl is gone, and it's a tragedy that nobody, no family, nobody should ever have to endure," Fowlkes said. "But tragedy is not the same as murder. Accidents are not the same as intent. And grief is not the same as guilt."

Fowlkes pointed to inconsistencies in witness accounts, particularly from the child's siblings, arguing that "no two witnesses say the same thing" about what happened. She also said Record attempted to save the child by performing CPR while on the phone with 911 and suggested her behavior afterward reflected trauma, not guilt.

Police also alleged that the child's mother witnessed the incident but failed to intervene, later giving inconsistent statements to investigators. Roxanne Record herself allegedly admitted she "went too far" and "wanted to take full responsibility" for what happened.

Family members later described a history of abuse within the household. In an interview with WAFB, the child's aunt, Ebony Record, said relatives had long been aware of troubling behavior but did not report it.

"We all failed. We all failed," she said. "I know what type of person my mom is. I know how my mom felt about China."

She alleged the abuse extended back years and affected multiple family members, adding that fear kept them from speaking out sooner.

"We were never going to tell. Now it's sad that it took a body for people to know what's going on over here," she said.

The only grief these two cunts feel is the loss of the welfare benefits this child brought in the home.

Everyone in this gene pool should be exterminated.
