MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested a couple on Monday after accusing them of child neglect and abuse.
Deputies said Georgy Almony, 42, became angry Saturday that his 10-year-old stepdaughter pushed her brother, so he grabbed her arm, “dragged her to the kitchen” and “placed her hand on the stove top oven, burning her hand causing injuries.”
“The victim’s skin came off where she was burned,” an MDSO arrest report states, leaving a “burn mark of the coil on her hand.”
Deputies said the girl “screamed in pain” and ran to her room, after grabbing Almony’s phone and calling her mother, Milliene Adeclat, who was at work.
But they said Adeclat, 36, did not do anything to treat her daughter’s injuries.
Deputies said they only became aware after her teacher noticed the burn mark and asked about it Monday, leading her to contact authorities.
The incident location was redacted from the arrest report, though based on an included ZIP code, it appears to have happened in the unincorporated Biscayne Gardens area.
Authorities said they took Almony and Adeclat to MDSO’s Intracoastal Station in North Miami for questioning; the former declined to speak with them and the latter denied all allegations, they said.
An arrest report states they took Almony into custody on a charge of aggravated child abuse causing great bodily harm and Adeclat into custody on a charge of child neglect causing great bodily harm, but not before she resisted arrest by “swinging her fists at” and “pushing away” deputies, leading to additional charges of aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting with violence.
As of Tuesday, Almony was being held in the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on a $7,500 bond.
Jail records listed Adeclat in custody at TGK on a $1,500 bond after a judge found probable cause for the child neglect charge. The records don’t state whether the judge also found probable cause for the other charges.
