My question involves child abuse or neglect in the State of: Missouri
17 year old girl was hit, choked & punched by a legal guardian(aunt) & sheriff deputy witnessed the woman lunging at the girl & attempting to further abuse her on July 3rd & had to physically restrain her. Child was removed from home & CPS was contacted to visit the child & record injuries. How long until charges will be filed? The deputy said he could not arrest the woman at the time of the incident as she was not eligible to be put in their jail due to claiming to have broken vertebrae in her back. What happens next? We have heard nothing.
