A MOM has been charged with murder after cops in Louisiana claim she beat her infant child to death.

Patrol officers were dispatched to the home in May after reports that the child had suffered “multiple blunt force injuries” to his little body, officers said.
The young boy was transported to Ochsner LSU Health Hospital where he later died.
Johnson was already being held by officials on charges of second-degree cruelty to juveniles for the alleged battery of her 2-year-old daughter who also lived in the home.
Detectives were able to secure a warrant on Saturday to charge her with second-degree murder of the boy after a months-long investigation, including gathering evidence and interviewing witnesses.
