It’s one of the most disturbing acts of revenge in memory — and this suspected killer mom laughed about it, according to police.
A woman jailed on charges she killed her toddler son sent a video of the boy’s apparently lifeless body to his father in a jealous, vengeful rage during a text-messaged argument that lasted more than two hours, cops said in a criminal complaint.
Christian Clark, 21, of McKeesport, was jailed without bond after being arraigned on charges of criminal homicide in the death of 17-month-old Andre Price III and attempted homicide of his 2-year-old sister, Angel. Clark doesn’t have an attorney listed in online court records.
Allegheny County homicide detectives say Clark was arguing with the boy’s father, Andre Price Jr., when she started sending increasingly violent text messages beginning about 9 p.m. Tuesday. The complaint indicated Clark was upset at having to clean up toilet water the children spilled but mostly because Price had left for work earlier in the day and Clark believed he planned to have sex with another woman.
“Ya kids ain’t safe here I don’t want them here” and “Answer me or im going to jail for child endangerment” were two of the dozens of texts listed in the criminal complaint. Then came a message at 10:01 p.m. that said, “I’m killing them” — followed by a laughing emoji with tears coming from its eyes, police said.
At various points, Clark also texted photos of each child — including one of the boy face-down on an air mattress with his face in a comforter.
By 10:14 p.m., Clark sent the first video, showing the children lying face-down with Clark narrating, “Ahh look Angel is still alive and sweating your son on the other hand is not even breathing, I wish I could keep the camera still.”
Another video five minutes later showed Clark grabbing Angel’s head, prompting the girl to cry. When Clark grabbed the boy’s head, he didn’t respond, police said.
“First of all she is clearly fine, because watch, see she is not dead. Him on the other hand, he doesn’t budge. So you might want to call the ambulance,” Clark said in the video. A minute later she texted, “All cus you wanted to go (have sex with) her & come here when you like.”
At 10:23 p.m. Clark acknowledged she’s responsible for the boy’s death — and police say she later admitted smothering the boy by holding him face-down on the air mattress for about a minute.
“Im sure it’ll hurt me one im sitting in jail & you got all the evidence you need to I can’t even say he suffocated in his sleep or say idk what happened,” Clark texted.
Price responded only six times in the texts printed in the complaint, at one point promising to take a bus home but at other times ignoring Clark’s threats to harm his children. Only after Clark sent a third video at 11:09 p.m., showing her picking up the boy’s limp body by the arm and tossing him on the bed, did Price ask Clark to try to revive him, the complaint said.
“Try to wake him up I said hold him,” he texted at 11:10 p.m.
“Its okay Im dialing 911,” Clark responded.
“You need to if he dead,” Price said.
County police Superintendent Coleman McDonough said the couple lived together only some of the time.
“It just goes to show how texts have become such a routine part of our lives that people don’t even realize the nature of what they’re communicating,” McDonough said.
He said authorities did not expect to file any charges against Price, but the investigation is continuing.
Homicide detectives say Clark told them at a hospital that the boy was healthy and had no known medical conditions. She denied harming the boy until police interviewed her again at their Pittsburgh headquarters and told her they had seen Price’s phone and the texts and images she sent.

Dallas Yvonne Auldridge says
Right you are. If we don’t stop pandering to these liberal idiots. Assisted by the crooked government and the inept media. Our gooses are cooked. They are going to bury us. You can’t say shit today without beind crucified. Can’t keep score at a ball game. The evil bitch who killed her baby should be ztoned. Or a bullet through the head. Which ever is easier. But she’ll probably have to serve 30-40 hrs community service.
randy says
Straight to hell.
Worthless excuse for a human being.
What a dumba$$
game50 says
This is called dumb down America and doing whatever they want without paying the price…she could have given the child up and moved on with her life…now the tax payers with take care of her and her family while she in Jail.
Darius says
Evil! Just pure evil! Pre-occupuied with sex, just like Megyn!
Dallas Yvonne Auldridge says
Yes she is. Reminds me of killary.
vICTOR- says
Now wait just a damn min, Black lives matter, Too who?
Jeanette says
Was the boyfriend black? If not, maybe the kids weren’t black enough to matter.
Dallas Yvonne Auldridge says
Oh my that is so mean. None of this is those babies fault.
Barry Smith says
If you think black lives REALLY matter, read the story of Miriam Carey. She was killed (actually assassinated) by the Secret Service & the Capitol Police department on Oct 3,2012 or 2013. She was black and did absolutely nothing wrong but make a mistake in turning into the road leading to the White House. she had her 14 month old daughter in the back seat and she was shot four times (in the back) while in her car with the child in the back seat covered with glass and blood. An investigation into the matter (by Obama’s justice dept.) said the agents acted properly. every other aspect of the incident says otherwise. I read the book and it’s a heartbreaking story. She had no gun, was not on drugs, wasn’t DUI etc. Just made a wrong turn and the police over reacted and shot her. It is one of the saddest cover ups you will ever see. Black lives only matter if a white cop shoots a black woman.
Adorable Deplorable says
In this current climate, NO LIVES MATTER to anyone anymore.
Bengazi lives didn’t matter – “At this point, what difference does it make?”
Unborn lives don;t matter.
My boyfriend cheated on me, so I will kill his (OUR) children, that’ll teach HIM a lesson not to disrespect me!
What a slippery slope we are on, and it’s going to get worse.
Theresa Armstrong says
How can a mother do that to their children? ????????
JJ says
She is not a mother
She is a monster.
Adorable Deplorable says
The whole world has gone insane! Potentially electing a career criminal to the presidency, and the other atrocities taking place with police being targeted . . . . what will be next? This obviously insane person used the life of her child to “punish” a man for allegedly having sex elsewhere??? What is this world coming to??
Trump/Pence will be a good first start towards correcting the path to destruction we are on.
Hildabeast for jail!
Wanda leonard says
AD I see you had to bring up Trump why this is about a baby being killed by his mom? Not Trump he raped a 13 year old kid he will go to hell Trump is the mark of the beast 666 you will see look it up !!!!!!!!!
noway says
Just another Obamanation child, give me what I want or I will kill or destroy something, typical.
Awake says
Hillary would have preferred her to abort him at birth.
She has her Obama phone and texts photos of her baby after she murdered him. She doesn’t deserve life
Sick sick sick!!!!!
So sad and pathetic that FILTHY people like this are blessed with precious little lives and they just throw them away like a piece of trash.
Execute the evil bitch!!!!!!!! One less HILLARY Voter.
My heart breaks for this precious baby. Rest In Peace baby boy.
Sandra Bush says
The children here are merely sex trophy’s and nothing more significant.
Call it late term abortion. I am sure Hillary would approve.
Indiscriminate breeding is for the totally stupid and insane. Lets overpopulate and do like the lemmings or is that being a lemming? ‘through your baby lemmings off the cliff to reduce population
Interesting that a woman could do that. This woman only serves as a good example of a very bad person.. Execution for her if I were on a jury. God bless that poor dead baby
.People would have adopted that little one happily if they could not have their own. Sad
Norman says
If we stop and really think about it, God has already blessed this small child He removed him from living in horror with this beast of a mother. Today he is living in Heaven, the mother is forever living in hell.
Joe Toland says
If Obama had a daughter…..
Dallas Yvonne Auldridge says
Yes she is. Reminds me of killary.Obama doesn’t even have a wife. I did read he has a HE-SHE
ann says
Dear God protect these innocent children from the lunatics that seem to multiply day by day in our Country. We had a similar incident here in Tampa, FL. A young man, early 20’s had a fight with his girlfriend, grabbed the child who was less than a year old, drove onto a highway bridge and flung the baby out the window. A commuter, on his way to work, saw the child along the side of the road and first thought it was a doll but stopped and called police. Of course the poor baby was dead and this scum is now sitting in jail with everything he needs, at our expense.
NAN says
DEATH PENALTY. NO TRIAL. BYE BYE.
Thomas Davis Harrell says
Welcome America,
No prayer or salute the flag or pledge of allegiance in school. No father, no discipline or family. What do you get? A generation of children that do not respect anything and only care about themselves. And they are not going away soon. If they don’t get their way they have a tantrum and kill. Blame it on guns if you like but until you put God back it will get worse.
Betty L. Smith says
This is the Obama era. Free phones, free food, free everything, and they still aren’t satisfied with what they have. This woman should be smothered like she did that poor baby, and she would have eventually killed the other sooner or later. Oh, she will wind up with a free lawyer, dressed like an upstanding pillar of the community, and get off with a few months in jail(Maybe Obama will pay for her lawyer, or pardon her.). Living together never has been a good thing. This doesn’t say if they are married or not, which doesn’t excuse this guy from being partly the blame for this situation. The minute she started with this phone call and video mess, he should have immediately called the police and told them what she was going to do. Or head home and stop her. That might have saved this baby from being murdered. How could a Mother do that to her child.? This not only happens with the blacks, there are plenty of white’s that mistreat and murder their children, all because they heard word from God, or whatever. Maybe this guy didn’t really care that much about those kids anyway.
Judith Schwinghamer says
I bet our Dear Lord may be looking down at the world and thinking…..”What the hell did I create down there on earth!!!”
Sandie Dennis says
She will burn in HELL !!!!
Jesse says
This woman needs to be horse whipped everyday until they get her gallows built the old fashion way one nail a day right outside her window and then she should be lead to it and hang her. She should get only one fast tracked appeal to the Supreme Court. Given she more or less admitted she MURDERED the child no trial is needed nor should one be given and that applies to all caught in the act or who confess in any way to anyone(Catholic priests or any other religious person included).
