A Salt Lake man was arrested after police say he caused second-degree burns to a 5-year-old boy he was babysitting.
SALT LAKE CITY — Police on Friday arrested a man who they say caused second-degree burns on a 5-year-old boy he was watching, sprayed a substance that contained bleach in the boy's eyes, kicked his teeth out, and then failed to seek proper medical attention.
A woman picked up her 5-year-old son from Thomas on Thursday. Thomas had been watching the boy since May 5, according to a police booking affidavit. But it does not indicate what the relationship is between the mother and Thomas or why the boy had been left in his care for over a month. The boy was taken to Primary Children's Hospital. It was determined that he "had chemical burns to his eyes damaging his retinal and limiting his vision in additional to the numerous burn marks," and "was now missing numerous teeth on the top and bottom of his mouth. When asked what happened to his teeth while at the hospital, stated Anthony kicked them," according to the affidavit.
Thomas said he did not seek medical attention at that point "because he couldn't get a hold of the mom and admitted to being scared that was in his custody when the burns occurred," according to police. However, Thomas allegedly told investigators "he knew that had second-degree burns from his research," which he tried to treat himself.
