PHOENIX (AP) - A Phoenix day care worker has been arrested and accused of striking a 21-month-old boy with a broom handle.
Police said officers arrested 37-year-old Lillie Adams on Thursday on one count of child abuse after investigating a Feb. 17 incident in which the boy was taken to a hospital for treatment of an unspecified injury.
The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office indicates Adams remained jailed Friday pending an initial court appearance, and a court website doesn’t indicate whether she has an attorney who could comment on the allegation.
