ALAMEDA — A local resident was charged with felony child abuse after he allegedly left his 1-year-old daughter in a bathtub with running water as he cooked dinner, court records show.
The 31-year-old Alameda resident was charged after he brought the girl to a hospital, where doctors estimated she suffered burns on 62 percent of her body. He told authorities that he turned on the bath, left the girl in the tub as he cooked, then ran back when he heard her screams, according to court records.
Police say they recreated the scene with him, placing the water setting how he claimed he had it. An officer checked the tub and that the water got extremely hot within a few seconds, authorities said.
The girl was burned on June 8. The man was charged on June 20, court records show.
On June 23, a judge secured the defendant’s release, but ordered him not to interact with any of his children without their mother present. He told police he is no longer with either of his five children’s mother but had been co-parenting with the victim’s mother effectively, according to court records.
The man is set to go before a judge for a preliminary hearing in mid-July, records show. He has pleaded not guilty.
