Officers with the Madisonville Police Department were called to the 600 block of S. Kentucky Avenue earlier this week for a report of possible child abuse.
45-year-old Melissa Gaither told police that she knew about the 3-year-old’s broken bones.
The child went without medical treatment for several hours.
Another woman, 21-year-old Talashiea Martin faces charges for not reporting the injuries.
Gaither is in the Hopkins County jail and charged with criminal abuse of a child 12 and under.
