A 51-year-old woman will spend seven to 10 1/2 years in prison after causing severe burn injuries to her 2-year-old grandchild after the victim soiled her diaper.
According to a May 2 news release from Warren County Prosecutor David Fornshell, a judge handed down the sentence against Lashawnda Walters after she previously pleaded guilty to endangering children and tampering with evidence.
On the morning of March 30, 2023, the 2-year-old girl, who lived with Walters, soiled her diaper. Following the accident, Fornshell said, “Walters assaulted the girl and placed her in a bath with water temperatures reaching up to 126 degrees Fahrenheit.”
Walters’ granddaughter sustained second- and third-degree burns to “over 17% of her body, including her feet, calves, thighs, buttocks, and vaginal area.”
Walters reportedly waited more than five hours before bringing the victim to the hospital for medical care. According to the prosecutor’s office, the toddler had to be transported from Cincinnati Children’s Hospital — Liberty Campus to Shriners Children’s Ohio in Cincinnati for surgical grafting to replace the skin damaged by the hot water.
The prosecutor’s office said police learned Walters had also deleted video evidence from inside the home to hide her crimes.
Walters remains held in the Warren County Jail.
Fornshell commented, “My heart goes out not only to this little girl but to everyone involved in this case who had to view the photographs of the horrific injuries Walters caused to that precious child.”
This old bat just looks evil, hope she burns in hell. How could any human being especially her grandmother do something so horrible. This old pig should have gotten 40 years, let her die in there.
Only 7 to 10-1/2 years? Seriously? She needs to be put in a vat of 160+ degree water herself. Demon.
She is extremely evil and wicked. What is she thinking. Off course that 2 year old is not old enough to take care of her self. I wont be surprised if she is getting money from the government to care for that child and only interested in the money. So selfish and it would be a good idea to give her a taste of her own medicine.
The 13% doing what the 13% do. That precious little one is TWO! Of course she’s gonna crap her diaper. What a beast of a woman. The same thing should be done to her!
