Eventually, she was arrested for child abuse.
Court documents filed by the District Court of Maryland for Prince George’s County revealed that the mother dropped off the infant at Mendoza’s home and came back after three hours.
Allegedly, Mendoza was cooking tortillas on a frying pan when the baby started to cry. She reportedly was not able to succeed in getting the baby to calm down and she had lost her temper.
Mendoza went on to intentionally put the feet of the child into the sizzling hot pan.
When the mother questioned Mendoza, she denied having anything to do with the injuries acquired by the poor baby. After not being able to give any explanation, the mother decided to call emergency services.
Her gut told her that something had terribly gone wrong and that the babysitter might have had something to do with her baby’s injuries.
Medical attention was badly needed by the baby. The mother took her to the nearest hospital where a doctor treated her severe burns.
The Children’s National Medical Center, where the baby was taken, said that the child had second-degree burns.
As for Mendoza, she was arrested and had faced child abuse charges. She was taken to the Prince George’s Department of Corrections.
