Honk News (Salt Lake City, UT) – A 22-year-old woman from Ohio faces the possibility of over ten years in prison for her brutal treatment of two young girls, subjecting them to a dangerously hot bathtub that resulted in severe burns and triggered a seizure in one of the victims. A judge in Gallia County has sentenced Malynda R. Harrison to a term of eight to 11 years in a state correctional facility, according to officials.
A statement from the county prosecuting attorney’s office reveals that the sentence was issued following Harrison’s conviction on two counts of endangering children, resulting in serious physical harm.
On Thursday, June 6, 2024, at approximately 8:26 p.m., deputies from the Sheriff’s Office and emergency medical personnel arrived at a residence in the 17000 block of Hannan Trace Road in Guyan Township, Ohio, following a report of a medical emergency concerning a 5-year-old girl. A child reportedly experienced a seizure at a residence located approximately 120 miles southeast of Columbus.
When first responders reached the location, they observed that the 5-year-old girl had “sustained severe burns to a large portion of her body.” She was swiftly taken to a medical facility in Huntington, Ohio, to receive care for her burns.
