A Florida woman was arrested after two children she was caring for were taken to the hospital with burns on their hands.

In a post on Facebook, the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office said that Jeny Soto-Duenas, 52, was charged with child neglect causing great bodily harm. Police said that during the early morning hours on Tuesday, Soto-Duenas was watching two children , ages 3 and 5 years old, at a trailer home in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. A family member told police that Soto-Duenas allegedly admitted that she intentionally burned the children's hands by holding them down on a griddle.

According to police, she burned the children because they asked for more food after they had already eaten.
