The video shows Hawkins putting her hand over the mouth of her screaming child, striking the child several times on the stomach, then throwing the child onto the couch, court documents state. In the video, Hawkins can be heard yelling the crying child.
Hawkins told investigators she meant to spank the child on the bottom and tried to sit the child down on the couch.
I was trying to sit [the child] down but I guess she went flying, Hawkins told investigators, according to court documents.
The child was 2-years-old at the time.
-----------------------------
After I got the video this time, they [police] still kind of were iffy about it but when I threw it on Facebook and YouTube, and finally went to the DAs office, then they finally did the right thing, said Randall Chaney, family member who reported the alleged abuse.

She doesnt want to talk to nobody, said a man at the home.
5NEWS asked the man if Hawkins was available. Shes got a mental problem, said the man.
Im not letting her talk to nobody and the attorney said the same thing.

Charged with felony child abuse, she told 40/29 News, Yeah, it looks like thats what happened in the video but thats not what actually happened, I would never abuse my kids like theyre saying I am Ive never hit them like that, Ive never left any bruises on my children at all.
She also said that its hard not having her girls around, and that she finds herself crying at night.
