Bond has been set at half a million dollars for a woman who had been caring for a one-year-old child when police say the baby was severely burned by hot water.
Akron Police say the victim's mother had left the infant in the care of 52-year-old Kimberly Richmond when she went out of town, only to return this past Saturday and find her child suffering from burn injuries.
Police say Richmond never reported an incident involving injury to the child and did not seek medical attention for the victim.
Richmond is charged with felony child endangerment.
