An Albion, Michigan mother is in custody after allegedly stabbing her 2-year-old daughter multiple times and trying to drown her, police said.
The Albion Department of Public Safety (ADPS) and the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office responded Saturday to a 911 call in which children could be heard screaming and asking for help.
When officers arrived, they kicked in a locked door and found a 35-year-old woman holding a 2-year-old underwater in the bathtub, ADPS officials said in a press release.
An officer grabbed the woman’s infant and quickly began administering CPR, successfully reviving the toddler after a few rapid breaths.

Deputies detained the woman and discovered after a preliminary investigation that she is the mother of four children living in the home.
Police said the 2-year-old girl had stab wounds to the chest and throat, and the woman’s 4-year-old son had lacerations. Investigators also said they believe the 2-year-old and 4-year-old ingested cleaning fluid.

The 15-year-old woman, who made the first call, and an 8-year-old did not appear to have any injuries, police said.
The mother, police added, may have also ingested cleaning fluid.
The two youngest children were taken to a hospital in Jackson before being flown to Ann Arbor, and both were in stable condition.
ADPS Chief Scott Kipp praised the responsive law enforcement officers from his department and from the sheriff’s office for their prompt actions that helped save the 2-year-old child.
