BELCAMP, Md. (WMAR) — By the point medics arrived on the Belcamp, Maryland home late Friday, it could be too late to save lots of the lifetime of three-year-old Maria Barlow.

Investigators arrested 42-year-old Randolph Mack who had allegedly taken the younger lady into a rest room to speak to her about wetting her pants when issues turned bodily.
Courtroom data counsel Barlow had suffered injury to inner organs, a fractured rib and potential strangulation.
Almost eight hours after the assault of the three-year-old, Barlow’s aunt referred to as 911 to report that she was in cardiac arrest and he or she steered her accidents might have come from an assault by her nine-year-old brother.
She later confessed that Mack requested her to shift the blame to Barlow’s sibling, and he or she solely referred to as 911 after he had left the home.
“To know an grownup… once more, you’ll be able to’t use a phrase aside from a ‘monster,’ who would inflict such injury on a toddler after which let that baby sit there unattended for a time frame earlier than summoning medical assist. After which make up a narrative and attempt to put the blame elsewhere—that isn’t a human,” mentioned Gahler. “To me that’s so inhumane, I name it a ‘monster’.”
Because the younger lady’s dying, police have acquired an extra report of abuse involving one other alleged sufferer, they usually worry others could also be on the market that they’re encouraging to step ahead.
Barlow’s dying got here lower than every week earlier than she would have celebrated her fourth birthday.
