Arrested: Brad Barker, left, allegedly put the daughter of his girlfriend, Mandy Milstead, right, in scalding hot water for telling lies. It took the couple eight days before they sought medical help

Deputies told the Houston Chronicle that Barker allegedly put the girl in hot water in a bathtub as a punishment after she told lies. She was severely burned on her leg and the soles of her feet.

Eight days later, on June 1, Milstead took her daughter to the Shiner's Children's Hospital and she was transferred to the ICU.

Officials with the state Child Protective Services contacted deputies about the child's injuries and deputies arrested the couple after an investigation.

They are being held in the Brazoria County jail.

The couple also have a two-month-old daughter together.

In April, shortly after the girl's birth, Barker wrote on Facebook: 'love being a pappy!! wouldn't change my family for the world!!'

He also writes about wanting to rush back home to see his 'girls'.

But on Monday, his status read: 'My fb family n friends, i just ask that you keep my family in your prayers please. We need all the love n support we can get through these tough times. 

'i ask that u relive urself of any and all tension and allow yourself to reach into your heart and give us faith! Thanks for all of ur help!'
