Surah Amon, 31, has been held without bail in Illinois, awaiting trial for first-degree murder, after allegedly drowning her 14-month-old son, Sir Watson, in Lake Michigan. Amon reportedly walked into the water at South Shore Beach in Chicago last Friday night, July 18, & "let go" of Sir, before screaming to bystanders that she'd killed her baby & wanted to die. Sir was pulled from the lake by the Chicago Fire Department’s Marine Unit & rushed to Comer Children’s Hospital, but was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. Authorities stated the tragedy unfolded hours after Amon was dumped by her boyfriend & kicked out of the home she shared with Sir’s father & grandmother, following a violent confrontation that led to a police-served order of protection. Prosecutors revealed during Tuesday's bond hearing that Amon had a history of clashes with the paternal grandmother, who had repeatedly called police to have her removed. Amon allegedly struck the grandmother on Thursday, July 17, prompting police to serve the order. With nowhere to go, Amon was allowed to stay one more night. A relative called XXX Friday afternoon, reporting Amon was "having mental health issues." Around 9:45 PM, beachgoers spotted Amon in deeper water screaming. Amon was pulled from the lake with cuts on her wrists & later confessed to police that she killed her son after being "kicked out," wanting to end her own life. Amon's sister, Claudia, claimed they called police three hours before the incident for a mental health team, but were told nothing could be done as Amon was not violent. Judge Suzanna Ortiz denied bail, ruling Amon posed a threat due to a "serious mental health crisis." Amon remains in custody. 🙏Please share to spread awareness DISCLAIMER: The information shared is based on initial reports, may not be fully verified, and is presented as alleged.
