A criminal case in which a six-year-old child was abused by her mother came to a conclusion December 20 with a Deming woman being sentenced to 21 years in prison. According to District Attorney Michael R. Renteria, Rosa Gonzalez, 34, was sentenced for abusing her biological child starting when the child was three years old.
According to Court documents, the abuse was discovered when a Bell School employee alerted authorities after seeing the child at Wal-Mart and noticing she was not wearing shoes and had a serious cut on her wrist. When Deming Police Department officers went to Gonzalez' home to conduct a welfare check on the child in August 2022, they found the child with injuries to both wrists and bruises on her face. Makeup had been applied to the child's face in an apparent attempt to conceal the bruises. Gonzalez was charged with first- and third-degree felony counts of child abuse, and all of the children in her home were placed in custody of the Children, Youth and Families Department.
