Remember the story about the little girl who was burned in the oven by
her older siblings? Well her mum and her boyfriend have been charged
with four counts of child endangerment.
Racqual Thompson, 25, and Cornell Malone, 21, were arrested Tuesday morning and held on bonds totaling $36,000 apiece.
Fox 26 reported, citing Child Protective Services officials, that one of
Thompson's children, a 3-year-old boy, admitted to putting 19-month-old
J'zyra Thompson in the oven of the couple's northeast Houston apartment
on the evening of Nov. 16. According to court records prosecutors filed
Monday, Racqual Thompson told police she had left the children alone
for about 30 minutes to pick up Malone from work.
