GEORGIA — A metro Atlanta woman is facing serious charges after authorities say she bit a child on the face and repeatedly beat him, according to an arrest warrant.
Investigators said the incident left the child with a visible injury that is still healing.
According to the warrant, Makiesha Lowe has been charged with first-degree cruelty to children for “maliciously causing the victim cruel or excessive physical or mental pain.”
The child told officers that Lowe bit him on the face and held her teeth there. He also accused her of repeatedly beating him.
Authorities said the alleged abuse occurred over a period of time, from Feb. 1 through March 18, at an apartment in Smyrna.
Jail records show Lowe was taken into custody by the Cobb County Sheriff’s Office on April 8. She has not been granted bond.
The case remains under investigation.
