LAKE CHARLES, LA – Kerrian Clofer is behind bars after the 26-year-old was accused of burning an 8-year-old girl’s hands because she ate a snack without permission.
According to police, they were called to a local hospital after the girl was brought in with severe burns on both her hands and numerous marks all over her body.
The girl told detectives that Clofer was the person responsible, claiming the woman held her hands over the open flame of a gas stove as punishment for eating a snack without permission.
She also told detectives that the marks on her body came from Clofer beating her with a belt and a metal clothes hanger.
According to the girl, whose relationship to Clofer has not been released, she was not allowed to eat for days, and was handcuffed and tied to the legs of a bed whenever Clofer slept or went to work.
Clofer arrested and charged with 2nd degree cruelty to a juvenile, and false imprisonment. She is currently in the Calcasieu Correctional Center on $700,00 bond.
The girl has since been transferred to a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. Once released, Judge Lilynn Cutrer ordered the child be placed in state’s custody.
