Emergency operators rushed in after the victim's brother called for help. The boy was taken to the Piedmont Newnan Hospital, where medical staff discovered soap on the boy’s face and eyes. The boy also had blurred vision and a scratched eyeball.
Police were called to the hospital, where they found blue soap from the Brillo pads on his right eye socket, according to the Coweta County Sheriff’s Office Lt. Col. James Yarbrough.
The woman was arrested on charges of child cruelty, reckless conduct and battery. She has been take to the Coweta County Jail while the Georgia Department of Family and Children Services was notified of the incident.
