Police arrested Saturday afternoon in Kagman III a woman who allegedly beat up her minor daughter using a wood and a metal rod.
Susan Igisomar Trecho, 31, was arrested for child abuse.
During a hearing yesterday, Superior Court Associate Judge David A. Wiseman ordered that the bail the court had earlier imposed shall remain at $5,000 cash.
Detective Patrick Earl Maanao stated in his report that the 13-year-old girl suffered a swollen lower lip, bruises on the back inner thighs, outer left thigh, waist, wrists, and palms.
Maanao said Dr. Ian Donald Macleod of the Commonwealth Health Center observed that victim had multiple contusions to the chest, buttocks, and pelvis.
The girl’s back was also riddled with scars, indicating that she had probably been subjected to abuse over the past few years.
Maanao said the Division of Youth Services contacted the Department of Public Safety Tuesday night to report the child abuse incident.
The detective said DYS learned that the child confessed that her mother beat her up using a wood and a metal rod.
The reason behind the beating was not indicated in the police report.
Wiseman granted the recommendation of assistant attorney general Rebecca Warfield to impose the same $10,000 cash bail.
Wiseman set the preliminary hearing for April 7 at 9am and appointed the Public Defender’s Office to represent Trecho in the case.
