A woman has been charged with neglect after her 1-year-old daughter died from being given a bath in the kitchen sink in scalding hot water. The child suffered burns to about 25% of her body.
Alexandria Jones was booked into the Marion County Jail Thursday on several neglect charges related to the death of her infant daughter Kalimah Hernandez, according to jail records.
Kelimah had been given a bath in the kitchen sink when she suffered burns to about 25% of her body at a far-eastside home in the 4100 block of Cordell Street on Nov. 26, 2020, Prosecutor Ryan Mears's office said in a news release.An autopsy report determined Kalimah's death was caused by “complications from thermal injury,” prosecutors said.
"A thermal injury of this nature in a young child is a medical emergency but is potentially survivable with appropriate medical attention," Mears's office said in the news release.Jones was formally charged on March 13 with neglect of a dependent resulting in death and two counts of neglect of a dependent resulting in serious bodily injury.
The most serious, neglect resulting in death, carries a sentence of 20 to 40 years in prison if convicted. An initial hearing in Marion Superior Court was scheduled for Friday. A jury trial was scheduled for June 25.
