A McAllen woman is behind bars after an injury to a child case involving two children where one of them had to be hospitalized.
McAllen police arrested 42-year-old Blanca Estela Gonzalez on two counts of injury to a child.
Investigators told Action 4 News that Gonzalez was acting as a “caregiver” for two children under 10 years old on Tuesday.
