Mother arrested, charged with letting her boyfriend repeatedly abuse 3-year-old, court documents show

HOUSTON – A mother was arrested and charged after authorities said she allowed her boyfriend to abuse her 3-year-old child.

Since then, Jasmine Salas has been accused of bodily harm to a child. She is currently on $150,000 bail.

According to court documents, Salas allowed her boyfriend to abuse not only her 3-year-old but also her 5-year-old on several occasions without intervening or seeking medical attention.

Officials said Salas witnessed numerous acts of abuse against her child without doing anything to stop her and continued to place her children in her boyfriend’s care and control for several days.

A three-year-old child suffered serious injuries from abuse, including a subdural hematoma, scalp burns, liver lacerations, broken ribs, lung contusions, and fluid in the lungs. It’s unclear what injuries the 5-year-old suffered, but a judge on Wednesday said the child also suffered noticeable abuse.

If released on bail, Soulas must not have any contact with her child, especially a three-year-old, and must not have contact with her boyfriend, among other conditions.

The identity of the boyfriend, who is not the children’s biological father, has not been released by Houston police.
