A Texas woman was charged with injury to a child after she allegedly inflicted “life-threatening” injuries to a 4-year-old she was caring for.
Tameria Barnett, 30, was released from Harris County Jail in Houston after making her $100,000 bond while the young girl she is accused of harming remains hospitalized in critical condition. Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez posted on X, formerly Twitter, that the child was the daughter of a friend of Barnett’s who is currently in prison.
