A couple caring for a disabled teenager drenched her in a bathtub full of bleach and Epsom salt, court records show.
Katrina, 51, and Garry Eubanks, 55, from Urbandale, Iowa, have been accused of bathing Airionna Bent, 19, in harsh chemicals that caused burns so bad finger marks could be seen on her skin after touching her, KCCI reported.
Bent was born prematurely and suffers from cerebral palsy, so she cannot speak and is fed through a tube. Her mum, Becky Bent-Weible, left her in the Eubanks' care after she turned 18 and visits her weekly.
"I called her [Katrina] Airionna's other mother, I thought we were friends," Bent-Weible said.
On May 28, Garry and Katrina Eubanks - who was hired by Mosaic, a company that offers care for the disabled - bathed Airionna in the harsh chemicals and caused 'severe burns all over her body', court records show.
