(CNN) — The maternal grandmother of a 7-month-old Florida girl found hidden in a small cedar box under her baby sitter’s bed says her daughter, who was charged in the case, is troubled and needs help.
Police think Chrystina Lynn Mercer gave Shannon Lee Dedrick to the sitter — who is the baby’s paternal aunt, Susan Baker — and 10 hours later reported the girl as mising.
