A grandmother has been charged with murder.
Yisenya Flores, a grandmother, is accused of murdering her 5-year-old grandson. A Toledo woman appeared in Toledo Municipal Court on Monday after admitting to assaulting a 5-year-old child but delaying calling 911 until the next day.
According to the coroner,
Anjuan M. Hare III, age 5, received multiple traumatic blunt-force injuries.
His death was ruled to be a homicide.
According to WTVG, the Toledo Fire Department responded to many complaints concerning a child who had fallen unconscious from a bed.
They performed life-saving procedures on the child before transporting him to the hospital, where he later died.
According to court records, hospital employees allegedly told investigators
that the injuries were not consistent with a fall from a bed.
Yisenya Flores Murdered Her Grandson: The Grandmother Is Charged With Murder
Yisenya Flores is charged with murder after her 5-year-old grandson died in a Toledo hospital last week.
The case has a preliminary hearing scheduled for Friday, and the bond has been set at $500,000.
On September 19, Toledo Fire responded to a complaint concerning a baby who had fallen unconscious from a bed.
The youngster allegedly injured himself when he jumped from a box spring mattress lying on its side onto a carpeted floor, according to the grandma.
The five-year-old was given life-saving treatments before being transferred to Toledo Hospital, where he died.
Flores eventually revealed that she had slapped the boy the day before because he appeared tired and unable to stand.

Is Yisenya Flores Arrested?
Yisenya Flores pled guilty to murder and endangering children and was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison.
She will be eligible for parole after 15 years.
During the sentencing hearing, defense counsel Ronnie Wingate revealed that
his client had stopped taking numerous pricey prescription drugs for mental health months before.
He stated she had no intention of harming the child.
The prosecution, however, contended that the boy’s injuries could not have been caused by a single isolated incident, and the judge agreed.
The youngster’s injuries, according to the prosecution, did not match what
Flores informed emergency officials, who said the boy jumped from a bed to try to fly like Spider-Man.
Flores ultimately admitted that he had beaten the youngster the day before, which had caused him to become lethargic,
only half attentive, and unable to stand up. But she didn’t call 911 until the next evening.
