That's according to the woman's confession to police. It was read in court Thursday. Merry Anne Long is being held on $500,000 bail. According to the confession, Long said her son and his girlfriend would "always pick on" her. She says they told her she was mentally retarded. The couple and their baby lived with Long in a trailer about 50 miles northwest of Philadelphia. Authorities say Long poured a quarter-inch of salt into a formula can after an argument with her son in February. According to the confession, Long said she only expected her 5-week-old granddaughter to spit up the salt-laced mixture. Instead, the infant's brain swelled from the extra water her body brought in to flush out the salt. She died within a week. Copyright 2003 by The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
