Woman Charged In Torture Of Step-Grandson

Posted:

Sheriff's officials have arrested an Oceola Township woman for allegedly abusing and torturing a toddler.

The story began back in October when a 3-year-old boy was admitted to the University of Michigan hospital's Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. Authorities say he suffered more than 6o injuries, including a subdural hematoma, which can indicate a serious head injury.

The boy also had a very low body temperature of just 88 degrees, along with other cuts and bruises.

After a three month investigation into the condition of the child, Livingston County detectives arrested his step-grandmother, 34-year-old Sara Rae Walters.

She's charged with first degree child abuse and torture. Walters is now behind bars in the Livingston County Jail. A judge set her bond at $200,000.

If convicted, Walters could face life in prison.
