A CHESTER COUNTY man who admitted that he got so frustrated with his colicky newborn Saturday night, he intentionally burned her with scalding water, has been charged with aggravated assault and related offenses.
Jorge Colon, 20, of Oxford, was bathing his 1-month-old daughter, Kiara, in the kitchen sink about 10 p.m. when she began crying, according to a spokesperson from District Attorney Thomas P. Hogan's office.
Colon told police that he became frustrated and turned the water to its hottest, removing Kiara after she began screaming, Hogan said. Colon put her in a towel, but Colon and his wife rushed the baby to Jennersville Regional Hospital after her skin began peeling off, Hogan said.
