MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – Deputies from the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office arrested a couple on Monday after they were accused of child neglect and abuse.
Deputies said Georgy Almony, 42, became enraged Saturday when his 10-year-old stepdaughter pushed her brother, so he grabbed her arm, “dragged her to the kitchen” and “placed her hand on the stove top oven, burning her hand and causing injuries.”
“The victim’s skin came off where she was burned,” an MDSO arrest report says, leaving a “burn mark of the coil on her hand.”
Deputies said the girl “screamed in pain” before running to her room, where she grabbed Almony’s phone and called her mother, Milliene Adeclat, who was at work.
But they claimed Adeclat, 36, did nothing to treat her daughter’s injuries.
Deputies said they only became aware when her teacher noticed the burn mark and inquired about it on Monday, prompting her to contact authorities.
The incident location was redacted from the arrest report, but based on the ZIP code provided, it appears to have occurred in the unincorporated Biscayne Gardens area.
Authorities said they took Almony and Adeclat to MDSO’s Intracoastal Station in North Miami for questioning; the former refused to speak with them, while the latter denied all allegations, they said.
According to the arrest report, they took Almony into custody on a charge of aggravated child abuse causing great bodily harm and Adeclat into custody on a charge of child neglect causing great bodily harm, but not before she resisted arrest by “swinging her fists at” and “pushing away” deputies, which resulted in additional charges of aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting with violence.
As of Tuesday, Almony was being held in the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on a $7,500 bond.
According to jail records, Adeclat was in custody at TGK on a $1,500 bond after a judge found probable cause for the child neglect charge. The records do not specify whether the judge found probable cause for the other charges.
