"Baby John" WILLIAMSON - 2 yo/ Accused: Stepfather-Demar Barnes - Las Vegas NV

A 2-year-old Las Vegas toddler suffered second- and third-degree
burns to nearly 30 percent of his body, including his genitals, and had
been deprived of professional medical care for eight days, according to a
police report released Friday.

The boy's stepfather, Demar Barnes, 20, Las Vegas, was arrested on
Thursday and faces charges of child abuse with substantial bodily harm
and child neglect with substantial bodily harm, Metro Police said. The
boy had been left in Barnes' care by his mother, 18-year-old Dialasia
Williamson, who had been on a work trip to New York, police said.

Williamson left for New York on April 28 for work and returned
Wednesday to Las Vegas after receiving troubling phone calls from a
friend and her husband on the condition of her son, the report said.
Upon Williamson's return Wednesday, she saw her son's injuries and
immediately called 911, police said.
According to the report,
Williamson's son had suffered second- and third-degree burns to his
lower legs and the tops of his feet. Second-degree burns also were found
on his genitals and behind. Paper embedded into the boy's burn wounds
had to be surgically removed at University Medical Center, where the boy
is recovering, the report said.
Barnes did not seek medical care for the 2-year-old after the burns
first surfaced April 24, police said. Hospital officials also reported
the boy was suffering from a fractured clavicle, according to the
report.

Both parents told police the boy sustained the clavicle injury in an
April 6 incident in which he fell out of a cart in a Walmart parking lot
and landed on his head.

The 2-year-old is in critical condition, the report said.

According to the report, Barnes had told both Williamson and police
that the boy had been burned by bathwater on April 25 and that his skin
was peeling and bleeding. Barnes further told police the boy's burns had
blistered and he had cleaned the burns with peroxide and paper towels.

Police told Barnes the injuries the boy suffered did not fit Barnes'
description of what happened, but Barnes denied hurting the boy. He
showed police a cell phone picture he had taken of the boy's injuries,
which police noted had a date imprint of April 24 on it.

Barnes had been in jail for four days for a domestic violence
incident against his wife on Easter, according to the arrest report. He
was released a day or two before his wife left for New York.

Barnes is incarcerated in the Clark County Detention Center, where he is being held without bail.

Second degree burns on his jewel sack. That's a burn that includes severe pain and blistering. OMG, I cannot imagine how much this hurt. Then no treatment for 8 days????
This asshat should have his nads boiled in a deep fryer & have to go over a week without pain meds.
Cases like this really bring out the "eye for eye" in me!
