MOUNT LAUREL, N.J. — A Mount Laurel woman has been charged with abusing two children under her care, including an infant who was found with a bruised eye, authorities announced.

Danielle Ingraham, 36, of the 300 block of Evergreen Road, was arrested Monday and charged with two counts of second-degree endangering the welfare of a child and two counts of fourth-degree cruelty to a child. She is being held at the Atlantic County Justice Facility in Mays Landing pending a detention hearing in Superior Court in Mount Holly.

The investigation began last week after an infant’s family took the child to a pediatrician for treatment of a bruised eye following time at Ingraham’s home. Authorities allege Ingraham slapped both the infant and a toddler she was caring for.

The case is being prepared for presentation to a grand jury for possible indictment.

The investigation was conducted by the Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office and the Mount Laurel Police Department. The lead investigators are BCPO Detective Michele Ragone and MLPD Detective Matthew O’Hanlon. Ingraham will be prosecuted by the BCPO Special Victims Unit.
