An Atlantic City woman was arrested last month after she was accused of physically assaulting her 6-year-old daughter, authorities announced Thursday.
Aminata Toure, 41, was charged with sexual assault, two counts of endangering the welfare of a child and simple assault, according to a release from the Atlantic City Police Department.
The Division of Child Protection & Permanency ( DCP&P) contacted Atlantic City Police Detective John Sharkey on Feb. 20, 2020 after the girl reported to her teacher that she had been assaulted by her mother, police said.
The child told authorities that she had been punched by Toure and had a liquid spice that is used for cooking poured on her genitals, the release stated. A DCP&P case worker took the girl to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center in Atlantic City for treatment and investigation was launched by police and the Atlantic County Prosecutor
