A Florida mother who allegedly claimed her 2-year-old daughter’s death was caused by bug spray later admitted she beat the child and slammed her head into a wall because she was whining, authorities alleged in court documents.
An arrest affidavit stated that Chelsea Huggett, 21, initially told Citrus County Sherriff’s Office deputies on April 26 that her boyfriend had killed her daughter, Aliyah Marie Branum, by spraying bug spray. However, deputies noted “the multitude of bruises, marks and other injuries to the victim,” according to the affidavit.
