A Raleigh woman is facing a felony charge for causing severe burns and seriously injuring a child, according to a Wake County arrest warrant obtained by CBS North Carolina.
Brenyelle Kimberly Bonds, 22, is facing a felony negligent child abuse – serious physical injury charge, the warrant shows.
According to court documents, Bonds intentionally put a “homemade heat pad against the bare buttocks secured inside of [name redacted’s] diaper” which resulted in “serious physical injury in the form of severe burns.”
Documents claim that Bonds “showed a reckless disregard for human life” by placing the heat pad in the child’s diaper.
The warrant didn’t indicate that Bonds had a familial relationship with the child, only that she was “a person providing care to or supervision” of the child.
