His mother, 18-year-old Chekayla Dampier, is charged with child abuse causing great bodily harm. Authorities say she confessed to holding the baby under the scalding water on April 17 because he wouldn't stop crying. Dampier is being held on $150,000 bail. It was not immediately known if she has an attorney.
The case remains under investigation.
