An Alabama man is facing charges after he allegedly poured boiling water down his 1-year-old baby’s throat. According to Fox News, the man was out on bond in connection to a domestic violence charge.
Eugene Lamont Sneed, 23, was watching the child while the mother, Niktoria Lett went out for a little. Once Lett arrived back to the apartment she said that her daughter, Royalty’s face was “all messed up.”
“I get in the apartment and my whole my, my baby face is just messed up,” Lett explained. “Her whole head, her left shoulder is just like ooh! I couldn’t even stand to look at her I couldn’t even keep calm, I couldn’t even maintain my body for real for real.”
“So we rushed her to the hospital, and from there, her injuries just started worsening,” Lett said. “Her lungs critical, everything critical. That’s how they know it was done purposely,” Lett said. “They said it was an intentional thing that he did. Justice for Royalty! That’s all we want, that’s all we want.”
Fox News, shared photos of the baby fighting for her life in the ICU. “19% of her head is burnt up, like all this is gone,” Lett said. “And my baby just in the hospital fighting for her life.”

Prosecutors revealed that once the father poured the boiling water into the child’s throat it caused internal injuries and facial burns. Now the Mobile County District Attorney’s office has revoked Sneed’s bond as his domestic violence trial was set to take place later this month.
Jail records show that Sneed was booked on Friday and charged with aggravated child abuse. A judge denied bond for Sneed, and his arraignment is on Oct. 17.
