“I was very disturbed,” Carter said. “Nothing like this should ever happen to a child.”

Harris is accused of leaving Harmoni and her own baby in a bedroom for three hours as she smoked marijuana. She reportedly became enraged when she found the toddler had thrown up on herself.

“Ms. Harris allegedly admitted to police she poured scalding water on top of the 3-year-old and slammed her head against the side of the bathtub,” said Assistant Prosecutor Jennifer Douglas.

Harmoni’s mother, Paris England, said she trusted Harris “wholeheartedly” before the incident.

“She was having a hard time. My baby is autistic, nonverbal,” England said. “I think she got frustrated with her and her own daughter and she slammed my baby’s head against the tub.”
