An Ohio woman was jailed on Wednesday for allegedly abusing her 4-month-old daughter on multiple occasions.

The Division of Child and Family Services alerted Unified police on Tuesday, after Lizbeth Hurtado-Breton’s infant daughter was reportedly hospitalized with multiple  injuries — including severe facial burns, several bone fractures, and a brain bleed. Though the baby’s father said Hurtado-Breton, 36, was holding their daughter’s face over steam as a home remedy, he also recounted several incidents involving Hurtado-Breton that police classified as abuse, according to KSL.

The father stated that he witnessed Hurtado-Breton steaming their daughter’s face before she wiped the girl’s face with a napkin, which took off her skin. Hurtado-Brenton allegedly told officers that she held the girl over a humidifier because she was congested, but police later determined the humidifier was a cooking pot.

“Lizbeth said her hands were feeling ‘very hot’ while she did this but she did not think about how the steam would feel on (the girl’s) face,” police wrote, according to KSL.

The baby’s father reportedly also recalled a previous incident in which he came home from work and asked Hurtado-Breton why tape was on the infant’s mouth. Hurtado-Breton claimed it was because she kept crying, according to KSL.

The girl’s father allegedly also recounted another instance in which his daughter’s arms were taped behind her back to force her to eat. Police said the father provided video and photos of their daughter’s taped mouth, and Hurtado-Breton force feeding their baby.

Hurtado-Breton allegedly told police that her daughter was always fussy and never ate, so she put medical tape on her face to keep her pacifier in her mouth. Meanwhile, the baby’s father said he believed Hurtado-Breton wanted a boy, and that was why she treated the 4-month-old horribly, but not her siblings.

Hurtado-Brown, a Mexican citizen, was charged with child torture and two counts of aggravated child abuse. Jail records do not include bond information.
