WAYNESVILLE, N.C. -- A 22-year-old North Carolina woman who put her toddler in boiling water and burned his foot with a cigarette was sentenced Tuesday.
Tabitha Rich pleaded guilty to two felony counts of inflicting serious injury to her then 33-month-old son.
Rich was sentenced to 25- to 39-month sentence on each count, to be served consecutively.
Prosecutors said Rich put her son in a pan of boiling water in October 2008 as punishment because he was constipated. The toddler was treated for third-degree burns on his buttocks.
The boy also had other injuries and a cigarette burn on his left foot.
In addition to prison time, Rich was ordered to have no contact with her son and to receive parenting training.
Rich's boyfriend was charged last month with assault and a first-degree sex offense.
