Clark has reportedly admitted to smothering their 17-month-old son on Tuesday after arguing with Price about babysitting their son and daughter.

According to the Daily News, Clark sent Price a video showing their son lifeless and facedown on a bed.

"Ahh, look, Angel is still alive and sweating your son on the other hand is not even breathing," she reportedly said in the video. "I wish I could keep the camera still."

Price never contacted the authorities or emergency responders.

The 17-month-old baby boy died at a hospital late Tuesday after Clark decided to call 911 herself.

Late Thursday, Price was awaiting arraignment on charges of endangering the welfare of a child while being held at the Allegheny County (Pa.) Jail.
