The Knucklehead of the Day award

Today's winner is Maggie Nicole Williams. She gets the award for the following.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — A 20-year-old baby sitter is charged with aggravated child abuse after Tampa police say she submerged a baby's feet in boiling water, causing second-degree burns.

Authorities say Maggie Nicole Williams was arrested Wednesday, one day after her mother called 911 to report that the boy they were baby-sitting had been severely burned while getting a bath.

The child is still in the hospital.

Police say Williams boiled a pot of water and poured it into a metal bucket, then intentionally immersed the child in the water. Her mother, Ruth Williams, calls it an accident.

Maggie Williams is in jail with bail set at $25,000.

How someone can be so cruel to a small child is beyond me. That's why I make Maggie Nicole Williams today's Knucklehead of the Day.
