Staff at Maricopa County Hospital called police Monday to report that they were treating a 47-day-old boy who had second- and third-degree burns.
Sarah Nguyen first said the burns happened when she was giving her baby son a bath in the bathroom sink.
As police interviewed her, the story changed.
According to court paperwork, the 18-year-old admitted “getting angry and frustrated” with the baby. She also told officers that she slapped his face and threw him down on the bed.
According to the probable cause statement, Nguyen placed the baby in the sink and turned on the hot water “to see how [he] responded to it.”
