City police found the 10-year-old girl in her bedroom crying uncontrollably and bleeding from her nose — her hands covered in blood from repeatedly wiping her nose. Police say the girl’s mother, Carla Williams, 27, of 22 Ennell Street, admitted to officers that she punched her daughter in the face with a closed fist. But, police say, Williams told officers there was nothing they could do about it, since she had a right to discipline her daughter however she chose. Police didn’t agree. Williams is being held tonight on a single count of domestic assault and battery on a child causing bodily injury. She’ll be able to plead her case in court starting tomorrow at her arraignment. http://sunpoliceline.wordpress.com/2012/06/12/crying-and-covered-in-blood/
