An 18-year-old mother has been arrested after she allegedly photographed herself stomping on her 10-month-old baby’s head to win her ex-lover back.
Alicia Brea, from Hollywood, Florida, was taken into custody and charged with one count of child cruelty after she sent the picture to her friend and the child’s father.
Deputies from the Broward County Sheriff’s Office responded to a 911 call made by Brea’s friend after she received the photo on May 9.
Officers soon arrived at the accused’s home but did not see any visible injuries to the baby.

According to the police report, Brea was asked to sign a consent form to allow responders to go through her phone and read her messages.
After thoroughly searching her phone, officers reportedly found the picture of Brea stepping on her child’s face.
They discovered that the accused had clicked the images after breaking up with the baby’s father and sent them to see if he would ‘come back to her’.

Authorities later said the accused claimed she had also sent more pictures of the child unharmed to the father – to prove that she ‘would never hurt the baby’.
The young child was then given to Child Protective Services and Brea was transported to the Broward County Jail.
She was later released on $20,000 bond and ordered by the judge to wear a GPS monitor and not have any contact with the child.
Brea was also told to undergo a mental health evaluation within 10 days and comply with the recommendations given by the doctor.
