MOBRIDGE, S.D. (AP) — A Mobridge woman whose 2-year-old child allegedly fell from a three-story window has been charged with felony child abuse.

Twenty-seven-year-old Irene Thompson also faces a misdemeanor charge of contributing to the abuse, neglect or delinquency of a minor.

Mobridge police investigator Al Bohle says that someone walking by found the child outside on the gravel-covered ground beneath an apartment window on Wednesday. It’s unknown how long the child had been there.

Thompson is being held at the Walworth County Jail.

It’s unclear whether Thompson has an attorney.
