Four days after the death of her son Hadley, Brittany Arnett went on Facebook to ask for donations to help bury her little Angel. Brittany played the grieving mother and played on the sympathy of others to collect money to bury her child. However, she left out one small detail, the reason her son was dead, was because she had killed him. Brittany posted a message:

"This little boy is my world. He is the reason I wake up every morning. And now that God took
him to be with him, my heart is broken and empty. I will never be the same. I ask myself
repeatedly, why did this happen to me? Why did it have to be my precious boy"

 

Brittany eventually admitted to the police that she had been upset that her boyfriend left her alone with the baby so she put him in his swing and then slammed his face into the tray of the swing several times over the next few hours. At some point, Brittany grabbed Hadley around his waist and pulled him from the swing and in the process, his head was moving back and forth unsupported causing him to hit his head on the tray. Brittany admitted that she was afraid to tell her boyfriend what she had done because she didn't want to get into any trouble. It was some 12 hours after the injuries were allegedly inflicted that the couple took Hadley to Citrus Memorial Hospital. Doctors fought for more than an hour to keep him alive, but it was too late. According to the autopsy report, Hadley had broken ribs, brain hemorrhaging and his spine was separated, he had a bite mark on his thigh and lacerations in his mouth.
