Prosecutors say Henry also assaulted one of her children, then 23 months old, last July. The child suffered bruising due to lack of oxygen or blood flow to the brain, as well as a broken leg.

Henry is charged with aggravated assault and other offenses. It's not clear whether she has a lawyer to speak on her behalf.
