A Kansas home day care provider is accused of burning her foster child in a hot bath and hitting him hard enough to cause bruising.

Ija Monae Hall, 29, faces a child abuse charge after the boy suffered second-degree burns last week, authorities said. She was arrested on Monday at the Child Advocacy Center, The Wichita Eagle reported.

The incident happened at Hall’s home day care, His Loving Hands Home Childcare, on Sept. 5, officials said.

Details about the case came out in a Kansas Department of Health and Environment Emergency Order of Suspension.

The document said that the child was taken that day to a hospital’s burn center with deep second-degree burns to lower extremities and superficial second-degree burns to his buttocks, thighs, genitalia and feet.

At the hospital, Hall allegedly provided medical staff and law enforcement with “inconsistent statements as to the cause of the injuries.”

The following day, Hall’s two kids were placed into police protective custody and taken to a children’s home.

There, the staff noted that both children needed baths. One child had missing teeth and bruising on his chest and legs, the document said. The other child had a small scratch on his face, red marks on his back, neck, shoulder and knee, and a small bruise on his heel, according to the document.

In a follow-up interview with police days later, Hall admitted to smacking one of them on the back, resulting in bruising and also admitted to making him sit in a hot bathtub, resulting in the burns, the document said.

The Kansas Department of Children and Families (DCF) requested an emergency order to suspend Hall’s license to operate a family child care home — issued in June. The license suspension was immediately granted due to the severity of the case, the document said.

Local CBS affiliate KWCH reported on Friday that she posted bond and was out of custody.

Jurors in Muskogee County, Oklahoma, convicted a husband on Monday of murdering his estranged wife, and with the help of his mistress, burning the body, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation announced on Wednesday.

They recommended that the defendant, Dayan Banks, 47, serve life in prison without the possibility of parole, plus seven years for a desecration charge.

Authorities said that Banks murdered his wife Tamera Lynn Ellison Banks, 43, on Nov. 15, 2021, the day before a scheduled hearing regarding the protective order she placed against him. The mistress, Lauren Ann Jackson, 35, is charged in federal court with desecration of a human corpse in Indian country.

In a plea agreement viewed by Law&Crime, she admitted to helping burn Tamera’s body at a home at. N. 253rd Road in the city of Okmulgee.

“Once there, the defendant assisted in and oversaw the burning of the body of T.B., a non-Indian whom D.B. had murdered earlier in the day on November 15, 2021,” authorities wrote. “The body of T.B. was burned in a metal horse trough, and the defendant used a shovel to stoke the fire and assist in the disposal of the remains of T.B.”

She has yet to be sentenced in the matter.

According to state documents, Tamera Banks had called authorities on her husband on Oct. 23, 2021. A deputy responded, meeting her at her neighbor’s home.

“I could see that Tamera Banks was very upset and scared,” the affiant wrote.

She said that she had run to the neighbor’s home after her husband threatened her with a gun and physical violence, according to documents. Tamera said Dayan pointed a loaded gun at her.

She soon got a protective order against him, moved in with her aunt in Texas, and put her home up for sale, but returned to Haskell, Oklahoma, to pick up more possessions, her horses, and to attend the Nov. 16, 2021, protective order hearing.
