Alecia Phonesavanh, her husband, Bounkham, and their children including toddler, Bou Jr., were visiting her sister-in-law in Atlanta, Georgia, when police raided the home early Wednesday.

Speaking with WSBTV, the heartbroken mother revealed that the police tossed a stun grenade into her sleeping son's bed, causing it to explode in his face.

She said: "It landed in his playpen and exploded on his pillow right in his face.

"It's my baby. He's only a baby. He didn't deserve any of this."

The child was seriously injured and rushed to Grady Memorial Hospital's burn unit, where doctors have placed him in a medically induced coma.
