A Bryan man has admitted causing second degree burns from the waist to the feet of a two year old boy. 30 year old Doma Golakai was sentenced to seven years in prison for the incident that took place in Bryan almost five years ago. The Brazos County district attorney’s office reported the plea followed Golakai serving time for debit card abuse. According to the arrest report, Golakai placed the toddler in bathwater after the child soiled himself. Then Golakai left the child in the tub to go watch television. The child’s mother, who was at work at the time of the April 2012 incident, came home to find her injured son and took him to the hospital, who in turn contacted Bryan police.
