We have some truly tragic and awful news to report, as an Atlanta mother has been arrested after her 7-year-old son died after getting his head stuck in a car window while she was allegedly “passed out” in the driver’s seat. Kandice Grace, 32, is now facing charges of second-degree murder and second-degree cruelty to children following the death of her son, Mazi Simmons.
Police were called to an Atlanta home on April 6 just before 9:30 AM about a child who was “found unresponsive,” according to an arrest warrant. When investigators arrived, they found Mazi in the back seat of his mother’s car with his head caught in the window. The boy was “not alert, conscious, or breathing,” per a press release from the Atlanta Police Department, and he was sitting “beside two younger siblings”. Mazi was rushed to the hospital but was tragically pronounced dead by medical staff.
