Mom Blinds Toddler By Pouring Bleach Into Its Eyes

Authorities say a Washington mother repeatedly poured bleach into her toddler daughter's eyes, causing permanent vision loss in child's right eye, Q13 Fox reports.

29-year-old Jennifer Mothershead pled not guilty to charges of first-degree child assault Monday.

Authorities say Mothershead was given antibiotics and eye drops in March 2011 for her toddler daughter after the child came to a local hospital with an eye issue. Mothershead told doctors her daughter had scratched her eye while playing in a barn, according to Q13 Fox.
