[WRAL|VIDEO] A mother’s four-year-old son was nearly lit on fire during a mental health crisis at a home in Nash County on Tuesday.
Investigators determined Latisha McDonald was “having a severe mental health crisis that warranted immediate medical and mental intervention.”
It was found that McDonald had poured lighter fluid on her son’s bed and attempted to light the bed and child on fire around 6:30 a.m. on Mike Lane in Nashville.
Nash County deputies said a sibling stepped in and removed the lighter to stop the act.
Six children were in the home at the time. All the children were placed into custody of Nash County Social Services.
The Nash County District Attorney issued charges for first-degree attempted murder, first-degree attempted arson, and felony child abuse against McDonald. [FULLSTORY]
