Areica Hill awoke one night to find one of everyone’s biggest fears come to life: someone had broken into her house. However, in a shocking twist of events, not only had someone broken into her house in the middle of the night, the person was also giving her 2-year-old a bath. The Columbus, Ohio mom had no idea what to do, she was absolutely stunned and horrified.

Areica told NBC 4 News she woke up early in the morning to the sound of a dog barking. She says that the dog’s barks sprung her right out of bed because her family doesn’t own a dog. She was immediately alarmed and got out of bed to go down the hall and investigate the sound.

"I get up and I walk to my door and the way my house is set up, I can look down the hall,” Aerica told the news station. “I see a white female lady, bent over the tub, with my 2-year-old in the tub."

The woman was later identified as Elizabeth Hixon who is just 22-years-old. Aerica and her boyfriend immediately ran down the hall to the bathroom where they were able to get Aerica's 2-year-old to safety and hold the woman down until police arrived.  

Hixon insists that she was only trying to care for the child. According to an affidavit obtained by NBC 4 News, “Ms. Hixon stated that she entered the residence, to provide care to a juvenile, which was outside the residence.” Hixon's mother also told the news station that her daughter had "good intentions" and her heart was in the right place. 

Areica, understandably, is not hearing it. In fact, she wants additional charges to be filed against Hixon, who has posted bail. Prosecutors are waiting on the next steps until they obtain the full case file.
