Florida Mom Jailed, Claims God Ordered Son's Exorcism

A Florida mother, Ronda Pollice, 41, is facing charges of second-degree murder, failure to report a death, and altering the body of a deceased after the death of her six-year-old son. Authorities discovered the child's body during a welfare check prompted by the school reporting his absence for multiple days. According to Sheriff Richard Del Toro, "Deputies found the child dead in his bed." Pollice claims she was acting on divine instruction, stating, "God told her to exorcise demons from his body." An autopsy is pending to determine the exact cause of death. This tragic case underscores the importance of child welfare checks and highlights the need for further investigation into the circumstances surrounding the child's death.
