Call the dad or family of child if you can. If you can't get them or they will not step in, please call CPS as soon as possible.

This could flip to life and death seriousness in a minute's time and this child is powerless and already suffering seriously.

I agree with all the posters who said they believe this could be the mom's cry for help. It would be so hard to say outright - "save my child from me", but it sounds like a sideways statement of the same thing.

One thing that haunts me to this day was that NO ONE EVER stood up for me and tried to help me. I just posted about that in fact. It still hurts me.
