Two older children gave police information about their 4-year-old brother’s severe burns and the days he went without medical treatment. The alleged victim was eventually taken to an Indianapolis hospital with burns on his back and left shoulder that extended down his left arm.

According to authorities, the older children said the injuries were visible right away. They allegedly told investigators the suspect had tried to hit her husband with boiling water during an argument involving the husband’s mistress, but the water struck their sibling instead. They also reportedly said their mom did not want to take the child to a hospital because she did not have enough money, and she was afraid of being blamed.

The suspect gave investigators a slightly different account of the incident. She reportedly said she had been in a domestic dispute with her husband when she threw boiling water toward him, but it struck her son instead. She said she did not initially notice that the boy had been injured and waited several days before seeking medical care.
