A 28-year-old San Bernardino woman was arrested this week for allegedly trying to kill her 17-week-old boy.

The boy was brought to Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital on Sept. 11 for having episodes of apnea, or a temporary cessation of breathing, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

Then, “on several occasions while the mother was visiting, the baby stopped breathing and required resuscitation,” according to a news release from the Sheriff’s Department.
