A Florida woman was arrested Friday and accused of instructing her 10-year-old relative, via messages in an online video game, to drop a 2-month-old on a tile floor and kill her adult guardians, the Escambia County Sheriffs Office announced .

Tara Alexis Sykes, 36, was charged with attempted murder while engaged in aggravated child abuse in connection to the messages. The girl told investigators that she was terrified of Sykes and believed that if she did not follow the instructions, Sykes would kill her, authorities said. The adults were ultimately not harmed, but the 2-month-old boy was injured.

The sheriffs office began investigating on Oct. 17, when they received a report from a nonprofit serving child abuse victims that the infant had suffered a skull fracture on Sept. 26 after the girl dropped him.
