At approx 1110 hrs I recieved a phone call from Sgt Hunt in reference to a reported domestic violence incident reported to the Pre-K administration.
I was already at the Pre-K for normal duty so I went to Mrs [REDACTED] office to inquire about this issue.
Mrs [REDACTED] advised that there was an incident reported to them on the previous day. She said that Jones County DFACS case worker did respond. She advised that she sent pictures and video from the bus the child rides to DFACS. She advised that the child had said that her mother, Destiny Ross, hit her so hard it made her teeth bleed.
Mrs [REDACTED] showed me pictures of the injuries to the small childs face and neck. There was a very visable bruise on the right cheek and scratches on the childs neck and behind the right ear.
I made with Jones Co DGACS and talked to [REDACTED].
Mrs [REDACTED] advised that she did respond to the school in reference to this issue and there is an active open case. I will send the pictures I have to the Jones Co Sheriff Office to be loaded onto the server.
I did not make with the juvenile to ask questions per Capt Allen. This case will be turned over to Lt Gleaton for further investigating.
