POLICE in the US are investigating the death of a toddler believed to have been drowned by a five-year-old girl because he was crying too much.
The incident occurred on June 3 at a home in the Kansas City, Missouri, where a 16-year-old� with mental disabilities was babysitting several children, local broadcaster KCTV reported.
As the teenager slept, the five-year-old girl dragged 18-month-old Jermane Johnson into a tub filled with water and drowned him.
The girl later told police she drowned Jermane because he had been crying and was making too much noise.
"I was shocked when I heard it," said neighbour Patricia Lewis. "I couldn't believe it. But for her age, I just couldn't believe it."
Missouri has no minimum age for criminal responsibility and while the death has not been declared a homicide, authorities said they were investigating it as such.
