Mom arrested after refusing to treat child's cigarette burns, cops say

Cybil Menard, 19, was arrested after investigators said she refused to treat her child for second-degree burns.

A smirking, pink-haired Texas mother was arrested over the weekend for refusing medical treatment for her 1-year-old who suffered second-degree burns -- as the mom admitted the baby may have had prior cigarette burns, investigators said.

Harris County Precinct Four deputies were asked to do a welfare check after a concerned citizen noticed what looked like a cigarette burn on the child. 

Deputies say 19-year-old Cybil Menard admitted she'd "always refused medical treatment" for the baby.
