Authorities say a Washington mother repeatedly put bleach into her toddler daughter's eyes, causing permanent vision loss in child's right eye, Q13 Fox reports.
29-year-old Jennifer Mothershead pled not guilty to charges of first-degree child assault Monday.
Authorities say Mothershead was given antibiotics and eye drops in March 2011 for her toddler daughter after the child came to a local hospital with an eye issue. Mothershead told doctors her daughter had scratched her eye while playing in a barn, according to Q13 Fox.
Authorities claim Mothershead's then-14-month-old daughter was airlifted to the hospital with a serious head injury in May 2011. Authorities grew concerned when Mothershead reportedly had no explanation for what had happened.

Poorly named.
Properly, it would be Jennifer Evilmothershead
I had to look twice at the name
Disgusting. I don’t think there is much that infuriates people more than this kind of extreme child abuse. Whether the abuse was done out of ignorance or malevolence, doesn’t matter. I’ll bet lots of folks would just like to strangle this dumb woman and I’m one of them. God, she’s just too disgusting to draw another breath.
I read the story hoping to understand a little better. This lady put bleach in a bottle of eye drops and was repeatedly putting it in the girls eyes.
Make you want to do the same to her.
I’d hit it...
... with a baseball bat!
I think that Dante had a special ring of hell reserved for people like this “mother”.
Why not “an eye for an eye”? Seems this woman like to serve out pain, why not give her some of her own medcine?

Words do not fail me.
This women, if proved guilty, should be placed in stocks in the town center and publicly whipped.
This is evil. Nothing but evil. I hope she rots in jail for the rest of her miserable life.
bttt
And in hell

Jennifer Mothershead accused of putting bleach in daughter's eyes, causing permanent vision lossPosted: 7:54 AM
Last Updated: 37 minutes ago KCPQ-TVTACOMA, Wash. — A Bonney Lake mother who prosecutors say repeatedly bleached her child's eyes, causing permanent vision damage, was charged Monday with first-degree child assault.
Jennifer Mothershead, 29, pleaded not guilty and her bail was set at $150,000.
In May 2011, Mothershead's 15-month-old daughter was airlifted from Tacoma to Seattle's Harborview Medical Center after suffering a blow to the head. While treating her, medical staff noticed that a previously diagnosed eye condition had worsened.
Mothershead told authorities that her daughter was sleeping up to 22 hours a day because exposure to sunlight had become extremely painful to her eyes.
Mothershead admitted that she had given the child eye medication. She also said her daughter was a "fighter" when it came to the eye drops. Mothershead did not explain how the girl attained the initial head injury, and the child was taken into protective custody.
When hospital staff and detectives investigated the eye drops that the child had been administered, they noticed a strong odor. A detective said the drops causd a minor burning sensation when placed on his wrist.
"One of the things our detectives were concerned about was a lack of concern for the toddler from the mom and we started looking into it," Pierce County Sheriff's Department spokesman Ed Troyer said. "We found one of the eye drop bottles of chemicals, which basically burned our detectives. It obviously wasn't something that should be going in someone's eyes."
After testing at the Food and Drug Administration's Forensic Chemistry labs, scientists determined that the eye drops contained bleach. The child's eye injuries were consistent with bleach exposure, and the child had suffered to an extent that they ruled out the possibility that the dropper had simply been cleaned with bleach.
"Our Special Assault Unit vigorously prosecutes cases of child abuse, domestic violence, and sexual assault," Pierce County Prosecutor Mark Lindquist said. "Those who victimize the most vulnerable members of our community are held accountable by deputy prosecutors who specialize in these particularly unsettling cases."
The victim, who is now 2 years old, has been living with her biological father since last spring.
I can’t even bring myself to read this. Just the headline makes cold chills run over me. What is WRONG with people??
Other articles about this incident mention that the mother is also being investigated for a head injury to the child.
Holy cow. Like someone else said-—stocks, and public whipping.
WTH??? Seriously, what is WRONG with this woman? “Getting back” at the baby’s daddy? Custody fight? Munchhausen’s by Proxy? My God, this world is so evil.
Bullet ..... brain, comes to mind.
