Two boys were removed from a Las Vegas home and Katrina Trujillo, 21, was arrested recently after one of the boys showed up for school with significant injuries.
A CYFD employee informed police a boy had arrived at school with a bruise on his forehead, dried blood in his nostrils, a scrape on his nose and a large scrape on the back of his left ear.
When asked by police what happened, the boy said “Mommy punched me in the face for being a bad boy."
The boy’s brother told CYFD, in an interview, he witnessed the incident. Police completed the necessary paperwork to set in motion an emergency removal of the boys from the home and placement in temporary custody.
