Yep, that vaunted Christian morality again.

The Columbia mother found guilty of forcing her 6-year-old son to
stand under a scalding shower as punishment was sentenced to 28 years
in prison on Monday.
....
She told Stroer that the first time, her son was playing with faucets
when she realized that the shower could burn him. She used the shower
on one other occasion as punishment, according to her statement to
Stroer.
....
According to testimony during Erma McKinney’s trial, she placed her
son in the shower May 19, 2005, after he had gotten into trouble at
school. She turned on the hot water and stood against the door as the
boy screamed to be let out. Though it was apparent afterward that the
child was in extreme pain, neither McKinney nor her husband sought
medical treatment for the boy but attempted to treat him at home with
a variety of creams and salves.
When Erma McKinney and her husband finally took the boy to the
hospital on June 14, they told doctors that he had developed a rash
from chicken pox. Jim Deline, the emergency room doctor who saw the
boy, testified that his injuries were so severe that he thought they
might be the result of an infection with flesh-eating bacteria.
James Kraatz, another doctor who was responsible for treating the boy,
testified that because the burns reached the boy’s muscle, he had a
hard time believing they were caused by hot water and not chemicals.
The boy, who is now in foster care along with his 3-year-old sister,
spent almost two months in the hospital receiving skin grafts and
recovering from his injuries.
.....
Public defender Michael Coles emphasized that he still believed the
boy’s testimony was unreliable and reminded the judge that Erma
McKinney had no previous criminal record and had been highly
involved in her CHURCH.
