Woman Arrested After Beating 10-Year-Old Sister Unconscious Over Bag Of Cheetos
According to police, Mejia began caring for her 10-year-old sister after their mother was deported to Honduras.
Investigators say the teen went to a neighbor's apartment October 11 and returned with a bag of Cheetos while Mejia was at the store.
When Mejia returned and saw the girl eating Cheetos, she exploded into a rage and began beating the teen with an extension cord.
Mejia then grabbed the teen by the hair and began slamming her head against the floor until the teen fell unconscious. Mejia then began kicking the teen as she lay on the floor.
When detectives questioned Mejia about the incident, she admitted to kicking the teen, but didn't think she had done anything wrong. She went on to tell detectives that she resents her younger sister and wished that she hadn't been born.
An investigation was launched after school officials noticed that the teen had sustained bumps and bruises to her head, arms and legs. The teen told investigators that she was contemplating suicide.
Mejia was booked into the Harris County Jail and charged with felony injury to a child. Her bond has been set at $60,000.

Teacher Charged With Violently Raping Underage Foster Care Children
Jodi Kirkpatrick, a 42-year-old science teacher Artesia Junior High School, was jailed Friday after she allegedly violently raped several foster children that were in her care.According to police, Kirkpatrick's sex offender ex-husband, Richard Glascoe, was sentenced to a 25 year sentence after he was found guilty of raping three 7-year-old children that were in foster care.
Investigators say Kirkpatrick and Glascoe forced a 6-year-old foster child to have sex with them between 2003 and 2006.
Another foster child was allegedly handcuffed and threatened with a gun and a knife on several occasions. The child was then forced to watch Kirkpatrick and Glascoe sexually assault a toddler, according to detectives.
Kirkpatrick and Glascoe reportedly divorced around the time Glascoe was charged with sexually assaulting three children.
Kirkpatrick was jailed and charged with five counts of criminal sexual penetration, five counts of kidnapping, and five counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Kirkpatrick has been placed on administrative leave by the school district pending the outcome of the investigation.
Company Fires Bus Driver For Uppercutting Passenger
The Regional Transit Authority explained the reasoning behind their decision in an announcement.
"Mr. Hughes claims that his actions were in self-defense. The evidence does not support that claim. We expect our employees to diffuse any potential situation. We do not believe that Mr. Hughes took the proper steps to diffuse this situation. The proper procedure would have been to pull over and stop the bus, then call Transit Police for assistance."
Despite finding the bus driver at fault for the situation, the Regional Transit Authority did state that female passenger is also to blame in the matter.
"The customer was out of line and charges have been filed against her."
