LAND O’ LAKES, Fla. — A Land O’ Lakes mother is facing murder charges in the death of her child.
The Pasco County Sheriff’s Office arrested 40-year-old Justine Mroz on Sunday night in connection to the death of her 6-year-old son.
It all began when the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office got a call shortly before 10 a.m. Sunday.
Deputies say the call came from Mroz herself.
Mroz is employed by Pasco County Schools to provide ESE services, helping students with disabilities.
The school district provided the following statement:

Meanwhile, the sheriff’s office has not released how the child died, saying it’s still being investigated.
A few neighbors who did not want to appear on camera said they were shocked by the news of what happened, saying this is a quiet neighborhood and that their neighbor seemed nice.
They also said they were sad to hear what happened.
