MOUNT LAUREL WOMAN ACCUSED OF ABUSING INFANT AND TODDLER IN HER CARE

Burlington County Prosecutor LaChia L. Bradshaw announced that Danielle Ingraham, 36, of Evergreen Road in Mount Laurel, has been charged with abusing two children under her care.

Ingraham faces two counts of Endangering the Welfare of a Child (Second Degree) and two counts of Cruelty to a Child (Fourth Degree). She was arrested at her home on Monday and is being held at the Atlantic County Justice Facility in Mays Landing pending a detention hearing in Mount Holly Superior Court.
