Court records say 33-year-old Joni Reed is charged with child endangerment causing injury and with two counts of child endangerment. Her attorney didn’t immediately return a call Monday from The Associated Press.
Police say the two had been separated by the time officers arrived Thursday evening at a residence in Iowa City. The boy had a bruise above his left eye and scrapes on his arms. He also complained of pain in his head.
