A mother from Michigan has been found guilty of felony child abuse and unlawful desertion for abandoning her 1-year-old son on Florida‘s Daytona Beach, with the boy’s teenage brother reportedly calling the cops on her — claiming she’s “possessed by demons,” according to police dispatch records.

“She sent my little brother somewhere,” the teen told authorities on Nov. 8, 2023, after calling 911 to report his mother’s actions, according to local NBC affiliate WESH. “She said with his dad,” the teen explained frantically. “I keep telling her to show me proof, proof, but she’s not showing me proof. … So, like, I really think my mom is possessed by demons.”
