*A Florida father is accused of discarding his 2-year-old son like trash into a Florida lake after allegedly killing the child’s mother last month.

The body of 2-year-old Taylen Mosley was found last week in the jaws of an alligator in Lake Maggiore. An officer reportedly shot the reptile in order to retrieve the body, according to Fox News affiliate KHOU-11.

“We didn’t want to find him this way, but at least we can bring some closure to that family now,” said St. Petersburg Police Chief Anthony Holloway.

The child’s father Thomas Mosley, 21, was charged Friday with murder amid an investigation into the killing of the boy’s mother. Police say Pashun Jeffery, 20, was found dead in a bathroom in her apartment in St. Petersburg last Thursday afternoon. A search for 2-year-old Taylen Mosley was launched and a state-wide Amber Alert was issued after her body was discovered.

Jeffery was reportedly stabbed over 100 times after celebrating her son’s birthday in the apartment with family and friends. The motive for the killing remains unclear.

Detectives believe Mosley murdered his son and the boy’s mother and has been charged with the first-degree murder of both.

The cause of death for Taylen has not yet been revealed.

Another woman and her son taken away too soon in a senseless act of domestic violence. I am sure Pashun Jeffrey was already scared for her and her son’s life. The cycle must be broken. What would cause a man to do something like this?! I will never understand. #TaylenMosley pic.twitter.com/gXhoQj8mut

According to an affidavit, Mosley showed up at a hospital with “severe lacerations to both of his hands and arms consistent with injuries caused by slippage during a knife attack.”

Mosley was booked in the Pinellas County Jail on Friday. Footage from inside the jail shows him sitting in a wheelchair with his hands bandaged.

A baby born in a Paris hospital in March to a mother with Covid-19 tested positive for the virus and developed symptoms of inflammation in his brain, said Dr. Daniele De Luca, who led the research team and is chief of the division of pediatrics and neonatal critical care at Paris-Saclay University Hospitals. The baby, now more than 3 months old, recovered without treatment and is “very much improved, almost clinically normal,” Dr. De Luca said, adding that the mother, who needed oxygen during the delivery, is healthy.

Dr. De Luca said the virus appeared to have been transmitted through the placenta of the 23-year-old mother.

Since the pandemic began, there have been isolated cases of newborns who have tested positive for the coronavirus, but there has not been enough evidence to rule out the possibility that the infants became infected by the mother after they were born, experts said. A recently published case in Texas, of a newborn who tested positive for Covid-19 and had mild respiratory symptoms, provided more convincing evidence that transmission of the virus during pregnancy can occur.

In the Paris case, Dr. De Luca said, the team was able to test the placenta, amniotic fluid, cord blood, and the mother’s and baby’s blood.

The testing indicated that “the virus reaches the placenta and replicates there,” Dr. De Luca said. It can then be transmitted to a fetus, which “can get infected and have symptoms similar to adult Covid-19 patients.”
