A Washington state mother stood by and
watched while a man, possibly her boyfriend,
threw her 4 year old son off a 27 foot
railroad bridge into the Wynoochee River in
Montesano.
An eye witness, Kaylub Fawley, who saw the
couple and the screaming child knew
something wasn't right and started recording
the incident.
Another eye witness, Brianna Jones said 'He
was screaming and crying, it was terrible,'
Kaylub Fawley, who recorded the scene
and posted the video on Facebook, said:
'As soon as he hit the water, my heart
sank, I felt so bad, I didn't know what
to do. 'I saw the little boy and I had a
gut feeling,' he added. 'I was like
alright I got to start recording this,
and as soon as I started recording, he
went off.'
Fortunately, the little boy survived the fall
but they didn't say if he suffered any injuries
or not.
The Grays Harbor Sheriff's Office has
charged the boy's mother and the male
acquaintance, neither of whom have been
named, with reckless endangerment charges.
The man has also been cited for trespassing,
as the bridge is private property, KOMO
News reported.
Child Protective Services is also involved in
the investigation, KING 5 reported. The local
district attorney has not decided if the pair
will be charged yet.
