Mother Jailed for Letting 1-Year-Old Die After Dunk in Scalding Bath Water
|Updated:

A Florida mother was charged with aggravated manslaughter of a child after not seeking medical care for her 1-year-old child after he sustained scalding burns.

The mother, Christina Hurt, refused to seek professional help for her child. Authorities were called only after Ethan Coley stopped breathing, and only by concerned neighbors. Hurt said that she didn’t want to alert authorities since she didn’t have custody of Ethan, WSVN reported.
