Description

A shocking case in Webster County: 20-year-old Bella Carpenter faces child abuse and conspiracy charges after her 17-month-old daughter suffered horrific injuries—including broken ribs, a fractured spine, and lung bruising—requiring hospitalization. Initial explanations from Carpenter, ranging from a medical issue to a fall down stairs, didn’t hold up under investigation. Doctors ruled out accidents, saying only a major car crash could explain the trauma. Abuse allegedly occurred between July 2nd and 5th, leading to her arrest on the 10th. She’s jailed on $100K bail with a preliminary hearing set for Thursday.
