19-year-old charged with child neglect for scalding baby
Sheesh, how do you a) fill a bath with just hot water, and b) put a baby in it without testing the temperature first.
A 19-year-old man faces preliminary charges of child neglect after a 17-month-old girl was placed in scalding bathwater Thursday, police said.
The girl was being treated for third-degree burns at Riley Hospital for Children, said Sgt. Paul Thompson, spokesman for the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.
Andrew E. Strohmeyer, 19, was arrested after detectives questioned him about the child’s injury.
