Description

The record reflects that on May 3, 1975, the appellant went to the trailer house where he lived with a woman and her three children. As he approached the door, one of the children, Mark, was in the kitchen alone cooking or toasting some bread. Mark was six years old. Appellant knocked on the door and, when he finally entered, the kitchen was full of smoke and Mark had thrown the bread out the back door. In order to punish Mark for cooking in the kitchen alone, appellant picked up the hot skillet that Mark was using and applied it to the childs stomach, causing a severe burn. Photographs of this injury were admitted into evidence and are in the record.
