Grandmother pleads guilty to the murder of her 2-year-old grandson

44-year-old Patricia Flores, a Texas grandmother, has pleaded guilty to the murder of her 2-year-old grandson, Lyfe Flores which occurred last year. Lyfe was severely burned in a bathtub but was not taken to the hospital for nearly a week. By the time she finally took action, he was far gone and did not stand a chance.

Patricia told the police that Lyfe had climbed into a tub filled with hot water she was using to clean and that was how he sustained the injuries. She said she failed to get him medical care because she is a nursing assistant and thought she could treat him by herself. She eventually got the police involved six days later after the boy had reportedly gone into shock.
