A Coralville woman has been accused of child endangerment causing bodily injury.

According to the arrest affidavit, Rempt scratched her 4-year-old son with her artificial fingernails while shopping at Walmart, leaving bloody scratches from his ears to his mouth. In another instance, Rempt strangled and slapped her 7-year-old daughter so hard that a handprint was visible on the girl’s cheek for several days after the incident. The 7-year-old daughter also reported that Rempt had shoved a bar of soap into her mouth on numerous occasions, causing bleeding from the gums and nose.

Child endangerment causing bodily injury is a Class-D felony.
