Members of a Florida community are demanding that police do more to investigate a woman after her boyfriend was arrested for allegedly beating to death her 3-year-old daughter.
Jeroen Jarrel Coombs, 32, was babysitting Paisley Brown along with four other children ages 1 to 9 years old at the couple's trailer home in Citra on Thursday, according to the Marion County Sheriff's office.
'He advised that he had bound her hands with a robe tie and her legs with painter's tape to prevent her from reaching into her diaper the night before.'
Police said they responded to the residence on 44th Avenue at about noon when they were called on a report that the girl was found unresponsive. Paisley was transported to a hospital, where she was declared dead.
An investigation found that Coombs had called the girl's mother at about 10:58 a.m to tell her the child was unresponsive, but he did not call emergency services. Forty minutes passed until the 911 call was made.
The girl's mother allegedly yelled, "My baby is gone!" after returning home and seeing Paisley limp in her high chair.
Police said one of the children at the home told them Coombs struck Paisley and "disclosed prior physical abuse" by the man.
Coombs allegedly admitted to injuring the child after he was confronted by police about ligature marks and bruises on the child.
"He advised that he had bound her hands with a robe tie and her legs with painter's tape to prevent her from reaching into her diaper the night before," police said. "Coombs claimed that he picked Paisley up while she was still bound and dropped her on the floor, causing her to begin gasping for air."
Lt. Paul Bloom told reporters the man did admit, "I went too far. I took it too far."
The other four children were placed in the custody of the Florida Department of Children and Families.
Coombs was charged with aggravated child abuse, but deputies said further charges are forthcoming. He is being held at the Marion County Jail without bail.

Dozens gathered on Saturday to protest and demand accountability for the mother of the child.
"I respect our law enforcement, but I've seen countless situations in Marion County where arrests are prolonged for months or even years," protest organizer Carley Santana said. "I don't think somebody should be walking free without at least being taken in, questioned, and determined [responsible] by a police officer."
Paisley's father, Robert Brown, addressed the crowd and said his daughter's death was preventable.
"Paisley, she's amazing. She's a loving person, who's always happy and goofy," he said.
Police said they're investigating why it took 40 minutes for Paisley's mother to call 911 after learning that she was unresponsive.

While the State of the Union address is meant to showcase the presidential agenda, sometimes the moments that live on have little to do with policy. And according to BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler, some of the most memorable come from other politicians stealing the spotlight themselves.
“This one I place in the gold medal position here is Nancy Pelosi ripping up President Trump’s speech,” says Wheeler.
In a clip from Trump’s past State of the Union address, Pelosi stands behind Trump as he takes in the applause from the crowd, ripping up a copy of his address.
“This was not an impromptu action that Nancy Pelosi took. This was not something that she did in the heat of the moment. This was not an unscripted emotional outburst. This was something Nancy Pelosi deliberately planned to do, knowing that it would be broadcast in the background internationally,” Wheeler explains.
“This was her response to President Trump. Nothing of substance, no alternative vision, just ripping him up,” she says, pointing out that the Democrats aren’t the only party to have had a politician throw a tantrum at a State of the Union address.
“When Barack Obama was president and he was attempting to debunk a Republican talking about Obamacare … Representative Joe Wilson, in, I think … the first public heckling of a president during the State of the Union address, shouted from the floor of Congress ‘You lie!’ at Barack Obama in 2009,” Wheeler explains.
Wheeler points out that in the video of Obama being heckled by Wilson, Pelosi’s “jaw actually drops.”
“‘You lie’ wins our silver medal for top moments from past State of the Union addresses. And coming in third, the bronze medal, we have to give to Marco Rubio,” she says.
This bronze medal is in honor of Rubio’s “very first meme.”
“This was back in 2013, so over a decade ago, he gave the Republican rebuttal to President Obama,” Wheeler says.
In his rebuttal, Rubio is clearly thirsty and awkwardly bends down to take a swig from a tiny water bottle.
“And that, of course, that moment eclipsed anything else that the president said or didn’t say,” Wheeler adds.
