An Enfield woman was charged with felony child abuse Thursday following a nearly month long investigation by the Enfield Police Department.

Tasha Monique Caine was jailed on $200,000 secured bond and awaits a November 23 district court appearance.

The charge stems from an October 3 call from Halifax County social services regarding a suspected child abuse case, according to Lieutenant Jerry Powell.

Detective R.L. White began an investigation which revealed on October 1 the infant was taken to Halifax Regional Medical Center in Roanoke Rapids for treatment of burns, which Powell described this morning as scalding.

The child was immediately flown to the University of North Carolina Burn Center where it was confirmed the child sustained second degree burns to his body.

Further examination found bone fractures in various stages of healing, Powell said.

It was unclear how long ago the child sustained the fractures, Powell said.

He said the child is expected to make a full recovery.
