Tameca Bryant, a 23-year-old Missouri woman was jailed Thursday after she allegedly beat her toddler son in the head with a 12-inch cast iron skillet.According to police, an investigation was launched back in June when Bryant's two-year-old son arrived to the emergency room with a broken arm, a fractured skull, a Subdural Hematoma (bleeding of the brain), and various cuts and bruises.
Hospital officials contacted Family Services who notified the Senath Police Department over the child's injuries. After a month-long investigation, a warrant was issued for Bryant's arrest.
Investigators say Bryant struck her toddler in the head using a 12-inch cast iron skillet. Bryant did not give a reason for striking the child and police do not believe drugs or alcohol were a factor in the assault.
Bryant was booked into jail and charged with first-degree domestic assault, armed criminal action, and felony endangering the welfare of a child. She remains held in lieu of $100,000 bond.
