Mom Accused of Murdering Son, 2

(Rehoboth, Massachusetts) A 38-year-old local woman, Kim Peno, has been accused of beating her two-year-old son, Timothy, to death.

According to police, the toddler's father brought the boy into Seekonk Police Headquarters around 12:15 a.m. Thursday, looking for help for his badly injured son.

Peno was originally charged with assault and battery of a child causing substantial injury but then the boy died on Friday. Consequently, she now faces a charge of murder.

Peno is being held without bond. Her arraignment is scheduled for Monday in Taunton District Court.

Curiously, no explanation is provided regarding why the father took the boy to the police station instead of the hospital. It doesn't make sense.
