Mother Found Pushing 3-Year-Old Son’s Lifeless Body in a Swing at Maryland Park

La Plata, Maryland–The people of the small, peaceful town of La Plata were shocked when they found a 24-year-old woman pushing her 3-year-old son’s dead body in a swing at the Wills Memorial Park last Friday, May 22. Apparently, the mother, who was later identified as Romechia Simms, was seen with her son, Ji’Aire Donnell Lee at the park, which is located at 500 St. Mary’s Avenue since Thursday night.

The Neighbors’ concern grew when they noticed that Romechia was still pushing his son back and forth on the equipment until the morning of the next day. One of the neighbors then decided to call the police.

When the responders arrived at the park…

They knew immediately that the boy had already been dead for hours.

“He was not moving, it’s tragic”, a neighbor said.

But they still performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on the child.

Diane Richardson, the spokesperson for the Charles County Sheriff’s Office said that there were no visible signs of trauma or foul play on the child.

Ji’Aire Lee’s remains were examined by the Chief Medical Officer in Baltimore.

The Sheriff’s Office is still waiting for the toxicology results.

Romechia’s mother, 47-year-old Vontasha Simms said that her daughter was diagnosed with depression last February and had been seeking help up until the tragic event at the La Plata playground.

They were homeless and were only staying at a hotel about a mile away from the park.
