A 42-year-old stepfather in Florida was arrested this week after he allegedly punished his 10-year-old stepdaughter by forcing her hand onto a hot stove that was so hot authorities said they could see the impression of the burner coil on her skin.
Georgy Almony was taken into custody on Monday and charged with one count of aggravated child abuse causing great bodily harm, records reviewed by Law&Crime show.
Milliene Adeclat, 36, the victim’s mother, was also arrested after authorities say she discovered what Almony did to her daughter but did not report the abuse.
She was charged with one count of child neglect resulting in great bodily harm, as well as an additional count of aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer for allegedly pushing and punching officers when they attempted to arrest her.
According to Miami Fox affiliate WSVN, the incident happened on Saturday, April 12, 2025, at the family’s home in the unincorporated community of Biscayne Gardens. The victim was at home with Almony and her brother while Adeclat was at work.
Almony apparently became enraged with the victim and decided to punish her in the allegedly torturous manner because she pushed her brother.
Almony then allegedly grabbed the child’s arm and “dragged her into the kitchen,” according to Miami ABC affiliate WPLG. He then allegedly “placed her hand on the stove top oven, burning her hand, causing injuries,” according to a probable cause affidavit.
According to the affidavit, the victim’s skin was burned off, leaving a burn mark on her hand.
After the victim “screamed in pain,” she grabbed Almony’s cellphone, ran into her bedroom, and called her mother to tell her what had happened, according to WPLG. Despite learning about her daughter’s abuse at the hands of Almony, authorities claim Adeclat did nothing.
Police were called only after the victim reportedly went to school on Monday and a teacher noticed her injured hand.
Almony and Adeclat were detained and taken to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office Intracoastal Station for questioning, but authorities said neither provided any useful information.
Almony reportedly refused to speak with investigators, while Adeclat simply denied any allegations made against her, according to WPLG.
Adeclat and Almony were transported and processed at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. Adeclat was released after posting a bond of $1,500.
Almony was released on a bond of $7,500. Both are scheduled to appear in court again on May 14, according to online records.
