Family members said she was suffering from paranoia. When police arrived at their home, she confessed to the killing.
Harris is being held without bond on first-degree murder charges.
“We didn’t know that this was going to transpire,” the boy’s father, Lavell Ingram, said in an interview with the Chicago Sun-Times.
Ingrams said Harris’ mental health has been a concern.
“We had told her to get help. I guess it finally reached its boiling point… She loved [Kaden] more than anything in the world.”
Ingram called his son a “young genius” and “everything I had in this world.”
