Kim Peno in court Thursday (WBZ-TV)

Rehoboth mom charged in death of 2-year old son


Authorities have filed a charge of murder against a Rehoboth mother after her 2-year-old boy she had allegedly beaten died in hospital. Bristol County District Attorney Sam Sutter says an upgraded criminal complaint was filed at Taunton District Court against Kim Peno on Friday afternoon, just hours after her son died at Hasbro Children's Hospital in Providence, R.I. The 38-year-old Peno was originally charged with assault and battery of a child causing substantial injury. She was held without bail at her arraignment Thursday in Taunton District Court pending a competency evaluation. Peno's lawyer says his client has a history of mental health issues.
