Tara Alexis Sykes , 36 , is charged with attempted murder while engaged in aggravated child abuse.

A 10-year-old girl allegedly dropped a 2-month-old baby on the kitchen floor by her mother, authorities say.

The girl said she was "terrified of her mother and felt that if she did not follow through with the instructions, Sykes would harm or kill her as well," the arrest report says.

The sheriff's office is "truly disturbed" by the allegations.
