Woman pours scalding water on young girl as punishment, disfiguring her for life, cops say [View all]
A Florida woman is facing a charge of aggravated child abuse for allegedly pouring scalding water on a child, causing serious injuries. The injuries are significant enough to cause life-long disfigurement, doctors told police.
Angelina Mayton, 23, of Palm Bay is charged with aggravated child abuse with serious bodily injury in connection with an incident on Dec. 27, police said. That morning, Mayton arrived at Palm Bay Hospital with the child, who had suffered third-degree burns to her body, according to Palm Bay Police.
Police said Mayton poured hot water on the child as a “malicious punishment” after the child relieved herself in the living room.
After Mayton arrived at the hospital and doctors asked what had happened, police said, Mayton told them that she left the child alone in a bathtub and that the young girl must have turned the hot water on by herself.
