CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Two women were arrested and jailed on felony child abuse charges after the children of one of the women were hit with a pair of metal knuckles in their home, Burke County Sheriff Steve Whisenant said Saturday.
The children were hospitalized with serious injuries Friday, Whisenant said in a Sheriff’s Office Facebook post.
An anonymous complaint led to the arrests of Connelly Springs residents Natalie “Shane” Childress, 25, and the children’s mother, 26-year-old Jessica Renee Sanders, Whisenant said.
