A four-year-old girl in the US has died after her mother allegedly kicked her in the stomach for not brushing teeth.
Iris Hernandez-Rivas, 20, called police to report finding her daughter Nohely Alexandra Martinez Hernandez unresponsive in their home in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
Hernandez-Rivas told police that her daughter had gone to the bathroom to take a shower and about 15 minutes later she found the girl lying face down in the bathtub, but waited an hour to call 911, Fox5 reported.
The little girl was transported to the hospital in serious condition. Once there, doctors discovered Nohely had multiple bruises on her body and was suffering from head trauma.
