A San Antonio mother and her boyfriend are facing charges after police say the woman's 2-year-old son was intentionally burned with boiling water and left without medical treatment for months.
According to the San Antonio Police Department, 32-year-old Tyreesha Robinson and her boyfriend, 31-year-old Devien Wheeler, have been arrested and charged with injury to a child.
The child, who is Robinson’s son, suffered third-degree burns and a broken arm, according to investigators.
The incident reportedly occurred earlier this year, but Robinson did not report the abuse until August, when she disclosed the situation to police.
In a police interview, Robinson said she heard her son screaming while he was in the bathtub. When she checked on him, Wheeler claimed the child had burned himself. Ro
