Rebecca Chaddock, 36, Cassville, was arrested last week when a six year old she was watching was found running down the street without shoes in freezing weather conditions.
According to the affidavit of probable cause, the six year old was found running down the street in the freezing rain and sleet unattended in shorts and a t-shirt and without socks, shoes or a coat. When officers found her, she was also bleeding from her nose.
Upon investigation, the Cassville Police Department found that Chaddock had held the girl down and slapped her. She also shoved her down multiple times. After the child fell face-first on the concrete, the girl ran away from Chaddock, which is when someone noticed her and called the authorities.
Once the girl ran, Chaddock never tried to find her or continue caring for her. Instead, she called the girl’s mother and told her that the child had left.
According to court records, Chaddock has had multiple other convictions in Barry County, including passing bad checks, forgery and child molestation. She is currently being held in the Barry County jail on a $25,000 bond for class C felony endangering the welfare of a child in the first degree and class C felony child abuse.
