Mum Burns Son’s Wrist For Playing With iPad

A Florida mum, Angelina Garcia, 31, burned her 7-year-old son’s wrist on a stove as punishment for playing with her iPad, police said. A doctor reportedly called police attention to the abuse after he spotted three burns on the boy’s left forearm and wrist on March 13 and the mum was arrested on Wednesday after a month-long investigation.

According to the arrest report obtained by NBC Miami, “Garcia told him if he did not stop playing with her iPad she would burn his hand.”

Garcia acted on her threat and forced his hand onto the hot stove, deputies said.

“This act goes beyond the scope of corporal punishment,” the arrest report said.

Garcia was charged with child abuse and is being held on $10,000 bond.
