Mom Arrested for Cruelty and Battery

(Henry County, Georgia) A 43-year-old mother of four boys, Sandra Lewis, was arrested Wednesday by Henry County Police for cruelty toward her children. She allegedly burned two of her boys with a cooking pot.

Lewis has been charged with two counts of cruelty to children in the first degree and two counts of aggravated battery.

According to police spokesman Lt. Jason Bolton, authorities began investigating Lewis, of 433 Trinity Trail, on April 20 after one of the children’s teachers noticed a serious burn on the child’s wrist. The teacher took the boy to the school nurse, and the boy told school officials Lewis had burned him.

Bolton said the child told police Lewis burned him on April 14. Police, and workers with the Department of Family and Children Services examined the boys and found they had multiple second- and third-degree burns "all over their bodies," Bolton said.

Two of her boys were adopted and they were the ones burned. All four boys have been placed with social services.
