Court records show a Houston-area woman is accused of placing a plastic bag over the head of her 1-year-old son and sending video of the abuse to relatives because she was upset that the child's father had a new girlfriend.
Twenty-three-year-old Jamelle Peterkin of Humble appeared in court Monday on a charge of endangering a child.
The boy's aunt, Ra'Neicha Broadnax, told KTRK-TV (http://abc13.co/2oPAGkt ) in Houston that in recent days she received videos and pictures from Peterkin also showing the child being slapped.

Records show Peterkin also placed a plastic bag in the child's mouth.
The current condition of the child is not detailed in the report.
