After a little girl’s body was discovered in a trash bag in Michigan, the girl’s mother told an investigator that she had a hallucination in which SpongeBob told her to fatally injure the girl or face death from her television.
So she did just that.
Justine Johnson is charged with first-degree child abuse and felony fatal injury.
The young girl had just celebrated her 3rd birthday a few days prior to her demise.
The conversation was very choppy,” Authorities said. “We would review things and go back to those things. Overall, the conversation, from what I could conclude, was that near the day that we feel it happened, she had left her mother’s house walking and passed out in the graveyard.”
Authorities said that Johnson told him that she tried to fatally injure herself in her own home. She also revealed what she had “remembered” about the event.
“She told me that she didn’t remember the specifics of what happened at the time
of what happened to Sutton, that she was experiencing hallucinations due to substance withdrawal and not sleeping for approximately two weeks,”Eberline said. “She was getting hallucinations from the TV that had instructed her to take her daughter’s life or they would kill her. It was SpongeBob (Squarepants) who was saying these things on the TV. If she didn’t do what she did to her daughter, they would fatally injure her. She said that she was afraid for her life and she had lost her mind.”
Authorities arrived at the home of Johnson and her two brothers early in the morning. They received a call from one of the brothers. They said that a small human foot was seen protruding from a garbage bag outside of the home.
After investigating, authorities found the remains wrapped in bed sheets. The remains only was dressed in a pink and white disposable diaper.
