January 13, 2012 (CHICAGO)

Christina Thomas died Friday at Loyola Medical Center. Eleven days ago, she was burned over 30 percent of her body.

The girl lived in the 700-block of West 76th Street.

The Illinois Department of Children and Family Services is investigating an allegation of abuse against her mother.

The girl reportedly was put into a bathtub filled with scalding water and suffered second-degree burns on the lower half of her body.
