A Kenosha mom intentionally burned her daughter with a clothes iron, told her she would "whoop her" if she told anyone about it and waited more than two days to seek medical care for the wound, according to a criminal complaint filed Thursday. Erica Fullbright, of the 4700 block of 38th Place, faces nearly 17 years in prison and up to $45,000 in fines of convicted of child abuse and intimidation charges. According to the charging document, Fullbright and her daughter, identified as KCD, sought care at Aurora Hospital on Nov. 10 for a burn on the girl's leg. The burn was described as being 3 inches high by 1 inch wide with an outline consistent with a clothes iron. A doctor said the burn appeared to be more than 48 hours old. The 4-year-old initially told medical staff that she rolled onto the iron while playing on a bed, but in subsequent interviews said her mother had intentionally burned her and told her she couldn't tell anyone about it or she would "whoop her," the complaint said. In follow-up interviews by detectives, the girl's teacher said the girl told her that Fullbright "put the iron on me," that she "likes doing it" and that she laughed about the incident, the complaint said. Fullbright faces two felony charges: physical abuse of a child and intimidation of a victim, and a misdemeanor charge of intimidation of a witness.
