A Milwaukee woman is accused of abusing a 6-year-old boy who later died from his injuries.

Prosecutors charged 33-year-old Anitra Burks with first-degree intentional homicide and neglecting a child (consequence is death).

According to a criminal complaint, 6-year-old Zane Adams was admitted to the emergency department of St. Joseph's Hospital in Milwaukee around on Sunday, July 21.

The attending doctor noted Adams had "extensive bruising" to his head and body, including a black eye, as well as cuts and scratches, the complaint states. Adams also had "a core body temperature of 92°F."

As Adams was being treated, the complaint states he "became pulseless." The medical team took life-saving actions for more than 50 minutes to regain a pulse and temporarily stabilize the boy, and he was then taken to Children's Wisconsin.

On Sunday night, detectives interviewed Burks about Adam and his injuries. The complaint states Burks identified herself as the boy's primary caretaker and said he had "behavior issues."

Burks continued to provide information about the events of Sunday morning that led to the hospital visit at St. Joseph's. Per the complaint, that included Adams eating eggs, playing with a sibling, throwing up, falling asleep and complaining of a stomach ache.

Prosecutors said, at some point, Burks said she contacted a nurse at St. Joseph's about whether the boy should be brought in. Medical transport was arranged, and when Burks and Adams arrived at the hospital, she claimed the boy said he felt sleepy – and she helped walk him inside.

The criminal complaint said investigators reviewed surveillance video from the entrance of St. Joseph's Hospital. It showed Burks "guiding" Adams into the hospital vestibule from outside. The boy could barely walk on his own, prosecutors said, and collapsed onto the floor once they got into the vestibule. Burks then yanked the boy up and held him up by the shoulder.

According to the complaint, Adams "had no ability to walk on his own and appeared to be barely conscious."

A detective who responded to assist with the investigation was informed around 12 a.m. Monday that Adams passed away, the complaint states. When the detective saw the boy's body, he noted "significant bruises" to his face, arms, legs and genitals. Burks was then arrested

An autopsy was conducted later that day. Per the complaint, the pathologist who performed the autopsy "noted extensive blunt force injuries" as well as cuts and contusions and a broken rib. There was also excessive fluid in Adams' lungs. The preliminary cause of death was ruled "complications from multiple blunt force injuries" in the manner of homicide.

The criminal complaint against Burks noted she was previously convicted of physical abuse of a child for pouring hot water on a 10-month-old child. Court records show she was sentenced in 2013 to three years in prison and six years of extended supervision.

"She had my baby in a whole horror story. She is a monster," the boy's grandmother told FOX6.

The boy's father, according to officials, was convicted of two criminal offenses and has been in custody awaiting sentencing. According to a criminal complaint, Burks was the primary caretaker for Adams.

Marie Shaw is a former girlfriend of Zane's father. She told us, "He was very charming, very goofy."

They lived together. Shaw cared for Zane and came to love him.

She said, "He was very easy to love, and he easily loved himself."

Investigators determined Adams suffered an internal injury to his small intestine, typically caused by severe focal blunt force trauma to the abdomen. If left untreated, it can lead to a painful condition caused by leakage of the intestinal contents into the abdominal cavity, shock and death.

During an initial interview with Burks, Adams allegedly told investigators the child had "behavior issues." Burks reportedly stated when Adams does not get what he wants, he scratches, pinches and injures himself. Burks allegedly said, Adams climbed the dressers and cabinets at their home, causing injuries to himself.

This is not the first time Burks has been in trouble before. Back in 2013, officials say Burks was convicted of physical abuse of a child. The criminal complaint says Burks was caring for her then boyfriend's 10-month-old child, who suffered scald burns from flowing water. The severity of the burns, according to the complaint, would likely leave the child permanently disfigured.

I don;t know when this picture was taken or in what context but this baby deserved so much better.

Ms Burke permanently disfigured a 10 month old infant and yet she is now free to kill another child!! The laws are weak, the child she scalded still bears the scars and shes on her merry little way to fatally injuring another child! Did the father know about this? Did he vet her, shes probably hurt the child before this! Judge, this time Don’t let her out, no parole or probation!
