A mother is behind bars after police said she battered her four-year-old daughter with her belt.
Megan Sheets was arrested on Tuesday in Ebro, Florida, and charged with multiple counts of felony child abuse for the alleged beating which left her daughter with wounds to her head, arms and legs.
According to the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, investigators began investigating the incident after the victim’s grandmother reported her injuries to authorities.
Police said the victim was asked by her grandmother how she was injured and the girl said it was from the alleged beating by her mother, according to WJHG.
The Florida Department of Children and Families took over the case and interviewed Sheets. The child was taken to Gulf Coast Children’s Advocacy Center where photographs were taken of her injuries.
Sheets has been booked at the Washington County Jail.
It is unclear when she is due back in court.
