Investigators say the mother claimed she was tired as she had been up late the night before and laid down from about 12:30 p.m. until around 4 p.m.
The parents of the child have six children, five of which were adopted.
"It seems like a very good family, very well-natured, took very good care of their children. Like I said, it's been a very tragic event that's occurred there," said Butler County Sheriff Kelly Herzet.
