Authorities in Texas claim a mother is suspected of tragically ending her 8-month-old child’s life by submerging him in a bathtub filled with hot water. This incident allegedly occurred after she became upset due to the baby having a dirty diaper, leading to severe burns and injuries that proved fatal, according to the police.

Jatoria Cleamons, age 21 and previously residing in Texarkana, is charged with injury to a child and manslaughter following the death of her son, Courtlyn Cleamons, on February 4, as per the Hooks Police Department. Law enforcement officials announced on Saturday that they are seeking to apprehend her.

“If anyone sees Cleamons or knows of her whereabouts, please call 911 and advise law enforcement,” a press release said.

Officers and deputies with Bowie County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a home at 100 Kennedy Circle in Hooks for a medic assist call that day and found medical responders performing CPR on Courtlyn upon their arrival, local CBS affiliate KSLA reports. Cleamons was allegedly staying with a relative.

Justice of the Peace Jay Wommack ordered that Courtlyn’s body be sent to the Southwest Institute of Forensics for an autopsy, which listed his cause of death as thermal injuries (scalding), per KSLA.

A homicide investigation was launched and Hooks Police teamed up with detectives at the Texarkana Texas Police Department to probe and question Cleamons. She allegedly admitted to giving her son an extremely hot bath while living at a residence in Texarkana roughly two weeks before he died. According to KSLA, she said she was frustrated with him because of the accident.

“Though his time on earth was brief, Courtlyn brought immense joy, love, and light to those who knew him,” an online obituary says. “His sweet presence will forever be cherished in the hearts of his family.”
