A young couple faces charges after police say they found their five month old baby with injuries from being scalded.

Akron police were called to an apartment on Byers Avenue late Thursday evening on a call of possible child abuse.

Lt. Dan Zampelli says that the five month old child was found "severely burned by her father and mother".

The infant girl was taken to Akron Children's Hospital, where she's being treated for third degree burns.

Police arrested the baby's 17 year-old father, and the mother, 20 year-old Chavelle Grier.

Both face charges of felonious assault, felony child endangering and domestic violence.

Grier is in the Summit County Jail. The 17 year-old father is in the juvenile detention center.
