A mother and grandmother face homicide charges in the death of a 3-year-old boy who was dipped in scalding water as punishment on Christmas Day and suffered at home for a week until dying on New Year's Day, Broward Sheriff's investigators said Monday.
Valerie Kennedy, 30, had lost custody of toddler Jaquez Mason and his seven siblings because of abuse. She was not supposed to have contact with them.
Her mother, Annie Williams, who was raising five of the children, violated a court order when she allowed Kennedy to have Jaquez for a Christmas visit, investigators said.
Within hours, Kennedy had dunked her young son in a tub of scalding water as punishment.
Despite second- and third-degree burns over half the child's body, Jaquez's grandmother picked him up from the mother's Coral Springs apartment that evening and took him home to Deerfield Beach. She did little to ease the boy's suffering, investigators say. Williams did not call paramedics until New Year's Day, when the boy lost consciousness.

bless this poor childs soul.
burn in hell for the adults
What is freaking wrong with people? I can understand getting frustrated with your kids, BUT what kind-of monster sees her kid for a couple of hours and can't cope? And who could deliberately do something so cruel?
This kind of story just breaks my heart. :*(
Makes me yearn for the 'eye for an eye' days of the old west!!
That precious child didn't have a chance!
God holds that little one in His arms now. May these two women be put away for a very, VERY long time...from the pictures in the article of them, the grandmother looks druggy, and the daughter has dead eyes, like a shark. No soul.
And does this on Christmas day. I say we boil the mother and grandmother alive as punishment.
My burning rhetorical question:
WHY does the state give custody of grandchildren to the grandparents who screwed up so badly with their own spawn?
And before I get flamed, I'm not saying this is always the case. There ARE exceptions.
I'm assyuming they have the death penalty in Florida?
Boil them to death.
Kill a baby three months before birth; kill a child three years after birth. Not much difference...that's where society is heading.
Seven kids? Good golly. And we are probably footing the bill for this. Look at the mom and tell me what copulated with her 21 months ago. She couldn't have looked any better then and she certainly could not have gotten by on personality.
Yup.
This story make me bloody ill. darwing and quartering would be good punishment for these heartless, cruel "adults".
The ONLY silver lining is God's will give them justice that they deserve, we know what that is. Those two women already look lifeless. Maybe it won't take much.
SEVEN children at the age of 30? God bless that poor little soul who never had a chance. Neither of those women should ever lay eyes on the remaining children.
How can these people live with themselves?
I've asked the same, and been flamed.
Sometimes grandparents just ain't so "grand".
Granny sounds like a monster too, not even to have taken the tot to a doctor. Extensive burns = extensive infection.
