Florida mother arrested for allegedly shaking baby to death asks Facebook friends to pay for his funeral

A mother accused of shaking her 6-month-old baby to death has sparked anger after going on Facebook to ask friends and family to help pay for his funeral. Brittany Arnett, 21, is alleged to have slammed her baby son Hadley's face into a swing and viciously shaken him in a prolonged attack after he kept crying on Jan. 27. The Inverness, Fla., native was arrested the next day on suspicion of his murder. But, just four days after his death, and before she was charged, it has emerged she took to the social networking site to speak emotionally about her loss. She also asked for donations to pay for his burial. Without any mention of his injuries, she wrote: "This little boy is my world. "He is the reason I wake up every morning. And now that God took him to be with him my heart is broken and empty. "I will never be the same. I ask myself repeatedly, 'Why did this happen to me? Why did it have to be my precious little boy?"
