Father and stepmother of two boys arrested, charged and booked into the Clark County Jail
On Tuesday (Feb. 7) afternoon, Clark County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to Gaiser Middle School after a report of a child with suspicious injuries. Deputies discovered an 11-year-old boy with very severe injuries.
Deputies notified Child Protective Services (CPS) and learned that CPS had already begun its investigation prior to the deputies arrival. CPS caseworkers met deputies at the school and the 11-year-old was taken into protective custody.
Deputies learned there was another child in the home, a 12-year-old boy, and conducted a welfare check at the home. They did not uncover physical abuse of the 12-year-old but they did uncover additional evidence related to the physical abuse of the 11-year-old. Deputies continued their investigation and developed additional evidence.
On Thursday (Feb. 9), Anthony Davis, the father of the two boys, was arrested and charged with Assault of a Child in the Second Degree and Criminal Mistreatment in the Second Degree. Amanda Davis, stepmother, was arrested and charged with Assault of a Child in the Third Degree. Both were transported to the Clark County Jail where they were booked. The 12-year-old was taken into protective custody.
This is an ongoing investigation involving minor children. The children will not be named and no further details will be released at this time.
