The mother had told the doctor she caught her daughter with her hands in the toilet. To clean the child's hands, Shantell Morris said she held them under a sink water faucet, which took a long time to heat.

Morris told Hoyt that she had just recently gotten the children back from Child Protective Services. Her 2- and 5-year-old sons were in an upstairs bathtub at the time of the incident, but were not harmed, the complaint said.

That is horrible - what a bitch! They should hold her hands under the 134° water until they are burned too. I am sorry, but this pisses me off to no end.

I hope the children never have to go back to her. I wonder how it is for kids who get taken away from abusive parents only to be given back to them time and again.
