Virginia mother accused of dropping baby out of window
RICHMOND, Va. – A mother in Virginia is facing charges after police said she dropped her young child out of a window at an apartment complex.
Mychae Goode is charged with felony child endangerment, WWBT reported.
Witnesses at the apartment complex told WTVR that they heard Goode shout, “I’m going to drop the baby.” A neighbor heard the shout and rushed over, catching the child and making sure its head didn’t hit the ground, the station reported.
“She was trying to close her eyes and I kept her up. All I could see is those six little teeth and her looking up like, ‘Who are you?’” the man who caught the baby told WTVR.
Goode was previously charged with child endangerment in 2019 after a car crash that killed her 5-year-old son, WWBT reported. The driver of the car who caused the crash was charged with DUI, WTVR reported. Goode was charged with child endangerment in that case because she was holding her 18-month-old without restraint, according to the station.
Police told WWBT that the child who was taken to the hospital after being thrown from the window is expected to survive.
