Missouri Mom Accused of Child Abuse

(Senath, Missouri) A 23-year-old local mother, Tameca Bryant, has been accused of clobbering her 23-month-old toddler son with a cast iron skillet.

Bryant has been charged with several counts of felony child abuse.

The toddler was taken to Leboheaur Hospital with various injuries ranging from bruising all over his body to a fractured skull, broken arm and a subdural hematoma from what doctors believe to be the result of blunt force trauma to his head.

The incident reportedly happened on June 2, but the mother, Tameca Bryant, 23, allegedly waited over 24 hours to seek help for the boy’s potentially fatal injuries she inflicted upon him.

Bryant was booked into custody at the Dunklin County Detention Center with bond set at $100,000.
