A Miami-Dade County woman was arrested over the weekend on accusations that she repeatedly beat her 8-year-old daughter and forced the girl to eat expired food or food out of the trash can, the report stated.
According to the arrest report obtained Monday by Local 10 News, T, 27, of northwest Miami-Dade, was arrested Saturday on charges of aggravated child abuse causing great bodily harm and child neglect without great bodily harm.
Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office deputies said they responded to T’s home Saturday to conduct a welfare check and found T’s daughter with numerous scars and marks on her body.
Deputies said the girl told them she was frequently left home alone for extended periods of time, including overnight.
According to the report, the victim said she had also been hit numerous times with a cord, frying pan and a spatula and does not often get fed at home by her mother.
The report states that the victim said T does not allow her to eat the food in her home because the food is for “guests,” and forces her to eat expired food instead or food from the trash.
According to the report, the victim claimed that her mother would sometimes wake her up at night and strike her with items for no apparent reason, including one time where she was struck in the face with a charging cable.
Police said the victim had numerous scars on her body that were consistent with her claims.
According to the report, a neighbor told police that she was first introduced to the girl two months ago from another neighbor and has allowed her to stay in her house and has provided her with food and shelter when she is left alone.
The neighbor told officers that she saw the victim walking around alone on Friday and once again provided her with food and clean clothing, authorities said.
According to the report, T provided some kind of admission to detectives, however her exact statement was redacted from the publicly released report.
As of Monday morning, T was being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. Online jail records listed her bond as “to be set.”
