Jabraylon Bables

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This story is one of the worst I’ve ever read and retold. I can only imagine the pain this little angel endured. Carlnelus Delaney Simmons dipped 16 month old Jabraylon Bables in a pot of boiling water. When emergency responders and police arrived to the home, Simmons claimed the Jabraylon’s injuries were accidental.  He stated he was holding a pot of boiling water in the kitchen when Jabraylon ran into him, causing him to spill the water over him.  Jabraylon’s injuries were clearly caused by being held in boiling water. Jabraylon suffered horrific burns to his legs, feet, hands and buttocks. Simmons was immediately arrested and held on felony child abuse charges.

 

Jabraylon spent over a month in hospital with third degree burns. Surgeons had to remove 60 percent of his intestines in one operation. His body swelled up so much he was unrecognizable to his family and his kidneys also failed. He died from infections caused by the massive skin loss.

 

Police have charged Simmons with child abuse and drugs charges after cocaine and PCP were found in the home. Simmons has a violent past and was convicted of killing a man in a 1994 bar fight. He got a 15 year prison sentence for the crime. Two years later, Dallas police arrested Simmons on a charge of dealing PCP after he told them he'd been selling vials for $15 each. Carlnelus Delaney Simmons was sentenced to 99 years in prison.
