MOM CHEWED SON’S FACE BECAUSE SHE WAS MAD BABY DADDY LOVED HIM MORE
A 20-year-old Houston mother is accused of abusing her 1-year-old son
because she was jealous and thought his dad loved him more than her.
Lessielee Ann King was charged with felony injury to a child. The baby’s father told investigators with the Humble Police Department that he grew concerned after finding various unexplained bruises on his little boy’s body. The father said the bruises only surfaced when King was alone with him, so that made him suspicious.
The father said on September 18, 2012, there were no bruises on his son when he put the baby to bed. But when he arrived home from work the next morning, he discovered a bite mark on the baby’s right cheek. That wasn’t the first time the child sustained such injuries, the father said.
Afraid to leave the baby with King, the father told investigators he
asked his friend to move in with them for a few months and to monitor
King’s interactions with the child. The friend confirmed his suspicions.
The friend said he did not think King had a motherly bond with the
child because she showed no affection toward him. The friend also said
he witnessed King slapping the baby “too hard” on the face, legs and
arms, investigators said.
The boy’s paternal grandmother told investigators she found severe bruising on the baby’s thigh in December 2011. The grandmother said she later learned later that King allegedly spanked the baby with a hard-soled sandal, but never reported the incident. The grandmother told investigators she felt King was “ornery and evil-spirited.”
The child’s father said he believes King has an anger management problem and her jealousy was the reason for the abuse. He gave investigators an audio recording of King telling him that she thought he only loved their son, and not her.
She said the toddler’s face was just a little red after she “sucked” and “chewed” on his face.
Charges were filed and her bail was set at $5,000.

Investigators were also given photographs taken when the child was
younger that showed significant bruising on his left eye and right
thigh.
When investigators asked King about the bite mark on the baby’s cheek,
she allegedly said she never meant to leave any marks on her son.
She said the toddler’s face was just a little red after she “sucked” and “chewed” on his face.
