A babysitter is accused of throwing boiling water over a three-year-old girl and fatally smashing her head into a bath.
Iesha Harris, 30, was charged with murder and first-degree child abuse after autistic toddler Harmoni Henderson was found dead on Monday.
Harmoni's mother Paris England left her at Harris home in Detroit overnight, as she was a trusted family friend who often looked after the little girl.
But instead of watching her, Harris locked her in a room with her own one-year-old daughter and smoked marijuana for three hours with friends.
Harris allegedly admitted to detectives that she poured scalding hot water over her face and head to clean her off.
She then allegedly smashed the toddler's head into the side of a bathtub, assistant prosecutor Jennifer Douglas said.
England video-called Harris for an update and was shown Harmoni in bed and told she fell down the stairs and bumped her head but was fine.
'From my knowledge, it was just a fall down the stairs – that she just missed her step, and that's all it was. She told me everything was OK,' England said.
'I seen her through the video chat, she was OK.'

This is one of those cases where the punishment ought be the same as the crime...scald the perp and then slam its head against the wall a few times.
If it survives...shoot it...a lot.
Yep, knew.
And they say the death penalty is cruel - what about the pain the victim feels.

I did look, I had to. I saw an animal with no soul, just evil.
“White people also do this sort of thing.”
More or less often than white people?

Do they do it as much proportionately?
I don’t know
Same question I had
Google will bury any studies on that pretty deep
Oddly this popped up on google quickly which surprised me

That is my prayer, too.
Rest in peace, little girl. You have overcome the sorrows of this world, which is so often cruel to the helpless.
🙏🏻
Thanks.

Paris, Texas, is a nice quiet town.
Thanks. Eye-opening. Are you surprised by it? I am not.
