The boy, who attends Pines Middle School, asked for a Band-Aid to cover his shoulder and school officials noticed his burns, police said.
When the boy was asked to explain his injury, he said his mother Glendese Williams had burned him with a hot iron while he was ironing his school clothes, police said.
“His mother entered the room and began arguing with him about the incident in school at which time she took the clothes iron and pressed it against his right arm,” Miramar Police said.
