A Florida mom was arrested after she allegedly put her seven-week-old baby under scalding-hot water as a form of punishment for his excessive crying, MyFoxTampaBay.com reports. The station identifies the woman as Chekayla Dampier, from Port Richey, Fla. Dampier allegedly ran the water from the tap in her bathroom and held the baby under for two to three minutes, a spokesman Pasco Sheriff's Office said.
Dampier then brought the baby to a local clinic to be treated for burns, but the extent of injuries were so severe that the baby was transported by helicopter to Tampa General Pediatric Burn Unit, authorities said.
According to the complaint obtained by FoxNews.com, the baby suffered burns to the eyes, ears, head, chest and arms. The extent of damage has not been determined and the baby remains in critical condition, authorities said.

she needs to be put in scalding hot water.
A woman and her mom were put away for doing the same thing to her son/grandson here in Salisbury earlier this year... the kid in salisbury not only had burns, but scars from years of being beat with a cable.
She should be sterilized and the baby should be put up for adoption.
Sterilizes beat for months on end and then burned then let her go
Scalded with hot water until death occurs. She is not worthy of continuing to live. She is a waste of space.
She was just a bit angry that her welfare check was late and she couldn't see the end of Judge Judy.
