An 18-year-old woman accused of burning her younger brother with a curling iron after denying his request to take a shower faces a felony child abuse charge, according to a recently released arrest affidavit.

The 14-year-old victim told St. Lucie County Sheriff’s deputies that he walked in the bathroom late Sunday night and asked his sister, Zabrik Z. Byrd, if he could take a shower. Byrd, of the 3200 block of West Lake Drive, denied the request and locked the door.

Wow!  Sounds like she gave the kid a beat down for trying to take a shower.  I wonder if he was trying to stab her since he opened the door with the knife.  Maybe she was defending herself.  Never says how old the boy was, under 18 since it is a child abuse charge.

that was a bit extreme to hit him and burn him with a curling iron just because he wanted to take a shower.

sounds like a typical fight between a brother and sister in an abusive family.
