INDEPENDENCE, Mo. – A 2-year-old girl was brought to the hospital on Saturday with second-degree burns. According to a child services investigator Kaylynn Koehn said, “Mommy is mean,” and stated that the bathtub water “did it.” She told the case worker that the water was in the blue bucket and that “Mommy did it.”
Karen Wynn is charged with abuse and neglect for failing to report the burns. The child was brought to the hospital over 24 hours after the burns occurred. Wynn says she was afraid to call 911 because of a previous investigation by the Children’s Division.
Both Grimes and Wynn entered a plea of not guilty.
