A man accused of burning his young son and punching and suffocating his nephew is being held without bail.
Prosecutors say he fled the state and was found a month later, living in the woods in Virginia.
19-year-old Kener Bautista-Zepeda from Chelsea pleaded not guilty to several assault and battery charges.
Prosecutors say he left a burn mark the size of a nickel on his young son.
They allege he burned his 3-year-old nephew with a heated fork last month.
Prosecutors say he’s also seen on video suffocating the same nephew.
