PALM BAY, Fla. (AP) - Police in central Florida say a teenager
faces child abuse charges after pouring scalding water on his
4-year-old cousin.
According to Palm Bay Police, a 15-year-old who was babysitting
his two cousins was angered when the 4-year-old told him to "get a
job." Authorities say he grabbed a cup of scalding water, and as
the child ran away, threw it on her back.
Police say the water left spotted blisters and open wounds on
the child's back. They were later noticed by a day care worker.
The teen has a criminal record and was in violation of his
probation at the time of the latest arrest.
