WEST PENN TOWNSHIP -- A baby girl is expected to recover after police say her mom tried to drown her in Schuylkill County.

Rachel Foose was locked up Friday night on $500,000 bail.

Police say she admitted that she tried to drown the one month old girl in the bathtub.

When police showed up, they say she was sitting on the porch of her home near Tamaqua.

Neighbors say the family was quiet and are disturbed by what the mother is accused of.

"I can't believe somebody would be able to do that to a little baby. If there is something wrong, you can take the baby to a hospital, drop it off. No questions asked. You don't get in trouble and the kid is okay," said Jim Chickilly.

The 32-year-old woman is facing a slew of criminal charges including attempted murder.
