Child Abuse Investigation Results In Two Arrests -02/10/23

On the afternoon of February 7th, Deputies responded to Gaiser Middle School regarding a child with suspicious injuries.  Deputies discovered an 11 year old boy with very severe injuries.  Deputies notified Child Protective Services and learned that CPS had already begun their investigation prior to the Deputies arrival.  CPS caseworkers met deputies at the school and the 11 year old was taken into protective custody.

Deputies learned there was another child in the home, a 12 year old boy, and conducted a welfare check at the home.  They did not uncover physical abuse of the 12 year old but they did uncover additional evidence related to the physical abuse of the 11 year old.  Deputies continued their investigation and developed additional evidence.

On February 9th, Anthony Davis, the father of the two boys, was arrested and charged with Assault of a Child in the Second Degree and Criminal Mistreatment in the Second Degree.  Amanda Davis, stepmother, was arrested and charged with Assault of a Child in the Third Degree.  Both were transported to the Clark County Jail where they were booked.  The 12 year was taken into protective custody.

This is an ongoing investigation involving minor children.  The children will not be named in a press release and no further details will be released at this time.
