He faces multiple crimes.\n\nAccording to the court records of Laclede County, Missouri, Timothy Easton was charged with two charges of child abuse and neglect and one case of child abuse and neglect causing serious emotional or bodily injury.\n\nAccording to KOZL-TV A 13-year-old kid presented to the ER on August 24 with burns covering 10% to 19% of his body, primarily his chest and thighs. According to what deputies have heard, Easton allegedly put the child in a \"ring of fire\" and then kicked a gasoline can at him as the teenager tried to escape. The gas allegedly \"sparked\" when it came into contact with the lighter, causing the boy's burns.\n\nEaston is the teen's stepfather, and the \"ring of fire\" happened in front of their house, as reported by KY3-TV.\n\nSince Easton allegedly did not allow the boy's mother to get help for the burns, by the time the kid got to the hospital, the injuries were already roughly two weeks old.\n\nPepper spray was also used on Easton's 16-year-old daughter and 12-year-old stepdaughter, according to reports.\n\nIt has been reported that Sheriff David Millsap made the following statement: \"The investigation revealed evidence that the suspect made repeated threats of physical violence and verbal abuse towards the mother and her children.
