A
heartless mother has been arrested and charged to court after it was
discovered that she physically assaulted her son to spite the father who
left her for another woman.
Jamelle Peterkin
A Houston-area woman accused of placing a plastic bag over the head
of her one-year-old son and sending video of the abuse to relatives
appeared in court Monday, Dailymail reports.
The woman identified as 23-year-old Jamelle Peterkin was charged
with endangering a child. Peterkin, of Humble, allegedly abused the
child because she was upset that his father had a new girlfriend.
The boy's aunt, Ra'Neicha Broadnax, said that in recent days she
had seen the videos and pictures from Peterkin also showing the child
being slapped and having a lighter held to his fingers, ABC13 reported.
Broadnax, who said she began receiving the messages on April 13,
said Peterkin indicated she was angry about the father's new girlfriend.
Officers said they saw video of the toddler experiencing difficulty
breathing as 'an adult hand was seen stuffing a plastic bag' into his
mouth and a photo of the boy 'with a plastic bag over his head' tied in a
knot, Click2Houston reported.
A text message she sent accompanying the plastic bag photo read: 'Sad that he pressed to cheat after he just begged me to be his girlfriend.
'That's okay. We can keep playing. Let's see how bad y'all wanna be together.'
