According to statements Perry reportedly gave police investigators, she and Redd did not take the child to the hospital because they previously had been investigated by the Department of Children and Families and did not know what to tell hospital staff about Bryson's burns...

The couple reportedly tried to treat the toddler's injuries at home using over-the-counter medication and an ointment Perry was prescribed for a prior burn on her finger, the report said.

Perry allegedly told investigators that Bryson behaved normally until about three days before his death. Around that point, the child became lethargic and lost his appetite, She said.
