-A Thorp woman charged with child abuse in Clark and Wood Counties was found guilty here in Clark County during a hearing on Friday of last week.Amber Abramczak was facing child abuse charges here in Clark County after a doctor found fractured bones in her child's arm, leg and foot. Abramczak told authorities that she had become upset with the infant and pressed and squeezed her limbs very hard.
She's also facing similar charges in Wood County after a doctor at St. Joseph's Hospital saw her force a bottle into her child's mouth, tearing the skin between the child's lip and front teeth. After the child was admitted to the hospital, doctors discovered the broken bones in the arm and leg were done before the hospital visit and the broken bones in the foot occurred while the child was there.
Abramczak was found guilty of one count of child abuse and another count of child abuse was dismissed and read in. She was sentenced to 120 days in jail and 3 years' probation, she owes the courts $176, and she must undergo any necessary counseling. She'll be back in Wood County Court next week.
