) — An East Texas mother reportedly ***** from a cardiac event after being jailed for abusing her toddler, who was found to have severe physical injuries.

‘We don’t tolerate trash dumpers’: 3 arrested in Trinity County for ******** dumping

According to the sheriff’s office, investigators were notified of a child ******/neglect case of a 23-month-old toddler girl with injuries that “resulted in an emergency removal from the mother.” The sheriff’s office identified the mother as Tori Huggins who lived with her boyfriend Adam Woods.

The toddler was taken to a hospital where they determined she was severely malnourished, dehydrated and had a fractured left forearm that had reportedly been broken for at least two weeks and bruises from head to toe which were in various stages of healing.

The sheriff’s office said the toddler was consuming human ****** and candy wrappers as food that caused a blockage in her abdomen.

“The 23-month-old’s injuries include several bruises to her face, neck, lower back, hip, abdomen and head; small abrasions to her neck, *****, forehead, buttock, lower leg, right ankle, left shoulder and numerous small abrasions along her spine; peeling of her skin on her buttocks and ******** area from a rash; two broken ribs, multiple fractures to five ribs, fractured pelvis, fractured ****** bone, fractured hip bone and a possible fractured nose; a laceration on her liver, left kidney, pancreas and a bowel obstruction.”

During the course of the toddler’s treatment, she received a blood transfusion and was released into CPS care after being medically cleared. A week later, the toddler received surgery the day before her second birthday due to a mass rupturing in the abdomen. The sheriff’s office said this was caused from blunt force trauma that resulted in the child having a drain tube in place.
