A 1-year-old child is dead after being fed waterbeads, batteries and acetone.  Aleisia Owens, 21, the girlfriend of the baby Iris'  father, had been arrested for intentionally feed the child harmful items.   According to police, the child died of organ failure, a result of acetone poisoning. 
The baby's mother first took the girl to the hospital, after  changing he diaper, finding "water beads."  Over the next few days Iris passes about 20 water beads. She also passes 3 button shaped batteries, and a metal screw. After 4 days, the baby is able to go home with her mother.  Pennsylvania Child Youth Services, CYS, inspects the homes of both parents and, according to Newsweek, finds no issue at either residence. Iris lives with her mother fulltime, but she continues to visit her dad at his house where Bailey Jacoby lives with his girlfriend, Aleisia Lynnae Owens. During a weekend visitation at her father's house,  Bailey Jacoby goes to the grocery store, leaving Iris with his live-in girlfriend.    As he is preparing to check out at the grocery store,  Owens calls Jacoby and tells him that something is wrong with Iris, she isn't acting like herself, she is unresponsive. Jacoby tells Owens to call 911. Emergency responders  Iris breathing with a fixed gaze and weak response. She's transported to the hospital when she dies four  days later.  
The homicide investigation heats up when investigators discovered Bailey Jacoby's live-in girlfriend, the last person to be with Iris alone,  Aleisia Lynnae Owens, has been researching online the harm that water beads and batteries can cause children prior to the child ingesting the items.  The Attorney General's Office confirms, Owens also conducted  online research into household items that could cause serious harm or death to children.   Forensic extractions of Owens cell phone show she searched online for topics such as ; “If your child drinks a lot of nail polish remover, what happens” and “What happens if a baby eats nail polish,” and “How many cases have there been from babies dying from eating nail polish.” Another search on Owens’ phone was “In how many cases have kids died from eating water beads,” “water beads harmful,” “Water beads near me,” and “Beauty products that are poisonous to kids.”   During the days Iris Alfera was in the hospital as well the day after she passes away, investigators discover numerous online searches conducted on Aleisia Owens phone for information on how to pass a polygraph test.
