Articles labeled: infant hot water

A “man” in Hayward, California has been charged with 4 felony counts for holding an infant under scalding hot water. The report says that the 16-month-old suffered “unimaginable agony” — which we think perhaps this guy should be subjected to in return, no?

Christian Perez, 20, was charged with child abuse, child endangerment, torture and aggravated mayhem. He’s been held without bail at the Hayward police station since his arrest Thursday, Orrey said.

Emergency dispatchers initially summoned firefighters to the DMV parking lot on Soto Road and Jackson Street in response to a 9-1-1 call claiming a baby was suffering from convulsions.

The baby was found be unresponsive and convulsing and was immediately taken to Children’s Hospital Oakland, Orrey said. Firefighters, suspecting possible child abuse, contacted police.

Christian Perez told Special Victims Unit detectives that the baby suffered burns while he was giving him a shower at his home on the 2700 block of Melbourne Avenue, an explanation they thought to be inconsistent with the boy’s injuries, Orrey said.
