EASTON, Pa.—Police say an Easton woman made her 11-year-old son hold his hands in a pot of boiling water while she questioned him about what he told a social worker.

Investigators say 30-year-old Yanira Arias-Ortiz wanted to know whether the boy told a caseworker that his father lived with them.

Arias-Ortiz filled a metal pot with water and placed it on the stove. She allegedly ordered the boy to put his hands in while it boiled, and then began questioning him.

She was sent to Northampton County Prison on $25,000 bail.
