The Clarksville Police Department has arrested a woman and man for charges of criminal child abuse against three children.
According to a news release, officers received a complaint about a woman who was possibly under the influence with three children in a residence who appeared to have burns on their bodies. Investigation revealed that Tiffani Hudson was asleep in the residence when three children, between the ages of one and five years old, got into cleaning supplies and sprayed each other with bleach.
One child had a swollen face and eye due to chemical burns and had bruising on her back and thighs, another had chemical burns to his face and stomach and what appeared to be cut and abrasions to his eye and bruising on his back while the youngest child had marks on her ankle and chin and severe diaper rash. The children were all transported to the hospital for treatment and currently in safe place with another party.
Examination of the home allegedly revealed deplorable conditions, including the kitchen being unusable and cluttered with dirty dishes, furniture and debris, no clean surfaces in the home for the children to sit at and there was not a safe spot for them to sleep. There was liquid bleach on the floor throughout the apartment, as well as dirty laundry and scattered garbage.
Based on the injuries to the children and the condition of the apartment warrants were secured for Tiffani and Carl Hudson. Carl Hudson turned himself in to the Clarksville Police Department Wednesday afternoon.
Tiffany and Carl Hudson were taken into custody and lodged in the Montgomery County Jail.
