A 43-year-old mother is facing two child abuse charges after Hialeah police said she attacked her two young sons inside a food store on Thursday.
Police identified the woman as Madelien Inurrieta-Martinez, of Miami. According to an arrest report, she entered Fatty’s Market, at 893 Palm Ave., with her children and sat on several boxes of beverages. She then grabbed her older son, who is either 6 or 7 years old, by the ears and hair and pulled forcefully, the report says.
The report says she then turned on her younger son, who is either 3 or 4, grabbing him by the ears and biting his right ear. Police said she left the store and struck both boys in the face at the same time.
Officers found her the next day near East First Avenue and 13th Street and took her into custody Friday. As of Monday morning, she was held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on a $5,000 bond. Records show she is also subject to an immigration hold.
