A Minnesota day care worker confesses to intentionally suffocating an 11-month-old boy because she wanted attention.
18-year-old Theah Loudemia Russell is in custody and will face a second-degree murder charge for the death of 11-month-old Harvey Muklebust.
Savage Police say that back in September, they responded to a call to find an unresponsive 4-month-old.
Three days later, they responded to another call and found Muklebust, who was not breathing. He was taken to the hospital, where he died.
According to authorities, Russell had a history of "attention-seeking behavior," including "nonsensical" 911 calls, firestarting, and "erratic behavior toward other children."
During an interview with police, Russell admitted to "intentionally suffocating" Muklebust and the other child "in an attention-seeking act."
