A 31-year-old Texas man, Devien Wheeler, is accused of dousing his girlfriend’s son with boiling pasta water. Tyreesha Robinson, 32, allegedly kept the injury a secret, and now both of them are facing charges.
As reported by the San Antonio Express-News, police responded to a Sarcrest Drive on August 22. Robinson had called the authorities after Wheeler allegedly assaulted her 2-year-old son.
However, after police arrived at the scene, they learned from Robinson that the injury had actually occurred back in May or June.
Wheeler detailed that, at the time of the incident, she was making spaghetti in a pot of water. Leaving the pot on the stove, she had a bath with her 2-year-old son. At one moment, she went into her bedroom. However, she heard her son screaming minutes later, affidavits
