A Florence woman was arrested Monday morning following a three-month investigation into child neglect claims, Florence County Sheriff’s Lt. Brett Camp said.
Barbara Ann Haggans, 39, of 1210 E. National Cemetery Road, Lot 5, is charged with unlawful neglect of a child by legal custodian, Florence County Detention Center booking reports show.
The suspect is accused of beating an 11-year-old boy with a belt on March 20 at a residence on National Cemetery Road, Camp said.
“The injuries were located behind his left ear, lower back and left hip area and they were loop pattern marks,” Camp said.
Haggans was released Monday from the jail in Effingham, but bond information wasn’t available.
