The McDonald County Prosecuting Attorney's office filed a felony child abuse charge against a Lanagan man who allegedly forced a juvenile to take a shower under water that was between 130 and 150 degrees.
An arrest warrant was issued for Trent Walker Ramsey (DOB 1995) with no bond.
From the probable cause statement:
On or about the date of April 24, 2026, suspect Trent Ramsey, stated, juvenile (name redacted) was in the shower, at their home where he watched {the juvenile} turn on the hot water, where Ramsey described the temperature of the water to be in between 130-150 degrees Fahrenheit.Ramsey stated he wanted to teach the juvenile} a lesson and had him stay in the hot water until he was able to figure out how to turn it off. After {the juvenile} was able to turn the water off, hours later, the child was transported to a hospital where he sustained third degree burns to 40 percent of his body
The case was investigated by the McDonald County Sheriff's Office.
This guy needs to be burned over 40% of his body to be taught a lesson! Let him learn how hot he can become in hours!!
ReplyDeleteThis being labeled as an accident by family is so messed up, especially when this baby wasn't taken to the hospital until 10 hours later
ReplyDeleteHe needs worse! that poor boy
ReplyDeleteWhere was the mother why didn’t she do something to protect her baby. They both deserve to go to jail

ReplyDeleteIf the family is posting or saying this was an accident there's something wrong with them!
I hope this is properly investigated for any child abuse by others around this poor child! Making anyone much less a child wait hours for medical treatment for third degree burns is HORRIBLE!
I had a significant third degree burn as an adult on my hand. It was pretty bad. Went straight to the ER. It didn't hurt nearly as much as I thought it would. Had someone give me a ride, I was in shock as soon as it happened but didn't realize it until the ER doctor told me.
It hurt more than enough later. I can't imagine injuring a child, much less like this POS allegedly did.
