Mother AND grandmother charged
---------------------------------------------
After further investigation, police filed abuse and obstruction charges against Sheehan on Tuesday.
The complaint against Sheehan says that she and her mother argued about how the little girl was burned, accusing each other. Smith told authorities that Sheehan once pushed her while she was holding the girl and that her daughter was a drug user.
Sheehan mentioned the curling irons at her mother’s house, and doctors said the tools measurements matched the injuries on the girl. The complaint also said Sheehan’s DNA was found on one of the curling irons.

The criminal complaint said a lab result from a urine test found Sheehan’s daughter tested positive for amphetamine, methamphetamine, and acetone.
As stated in the criminal complaint, the physician examining the toddler was shown a picture of a curling iron and said the measurement of the curling iron matched the size of the toddler’s injuries. The criminal complaint said Sheehan’s DNA was found on a curling iron sent to the crime lab.
Sheehan will have a status of council meeting on October 27. Her preliminary hearing is scheduled for November 3 at 9:30 a.m. In court Tuesday, her bond was set at $15,000 cash.
