A 13-day-old baby girl has been bashed to death by her six-year-old brother, after their mother left them in a auto alone for more almost 40 minutes to go shopping in the US State of Florida.

It has been reported that a woman who once starred in the reality show, “I’m Pregnant And 55 Years Old is being charged with manslaughter after leaving her 6-year-old son in the vehicle with her infant daughter”.
A six-year-old boy beat his newborn baby sister to death after they were left alone in a auto together.
Investigators in Largo, Florida, say he flipped her several times, dropped her on the floor, slammed her head against the ceiling and hit her in the face.
The sheriff called the murder one of the worst things he’s ever seen in his whole career – likely his whole life. Her husband died of cancer in 2011 and Steele had been raising the children alone.
Ms Steele is jail and will face charges of aggravated manslaughter. He said that it was troubling “that some supposed medical professional agrees to impregnate a 62-year-old woman with her dead husband’s sperm – and she gives birth to a baby that, by all accounts, she’s unable to adequately care for”. Steele was pregnant with her now 6-year-old son when she appeared on the reality TV show. The sheriff said during the first hour, Steele never asked about the baby and even seemed aloof.
“Frankie and Phillip, at 6 and 3, were running amok, unsupervised, and what others saw was consistent with what happened on Monday, and that she didn’t care for the kids and was negligent and neglectful and abused them by leaving these kids in the auto”, the sheriff said on Thursday. On July 29, just three days after the girl was born, an accidental fire rousted the family from their home, he said. The nurse knew the baby was dead, but performed CPR until paramedics arrived.
“The baby was beaten and traumatized”, the sheriff added.
“I’m very confident in this case that our child protection division did everything right. there was no way that anybody in hindsight would look at this and say we should have done something differently”.
According to News.com, authorities were aware of the family as the baby girl had been treated for a minor brain bleed previous to this incident and had been kept in hospital for two nights monitoring. While Steele went into the cellphone fix store in St. Petersburg, she left her son and infant daughter in the vehicle alone.
It is possible, he said, for children to overcome the grief, trauma and shame of acts they committed at a young age. “Her skull was cracked in numerous places”.
Investigators interviewed Steele Monday night.
According to investigators, when the mother returned to the van, the boy tried to tell her something was wrong with the baby. A report was made to the child abuse hotline. Steele is being held on $100,000 bond.
After finally realising the baby was hurt, Steele called a nurse who lived nearby and not police.

Her attorney would have to figure out if she was capable of understanding the consequences of her actions, he said.
