An Ankeny woman has been arrested and charged with child endangerment after her two-year-old child was hospitalized.

Criminal complaints state Toshia Bruckner, 28, deprived her child of necessary food and supervision, and also exposed her child "to a hazard or danger." Police arrested her Wednesday and charged her with neglect of a dependent person and child endangerment causing serious injury.

When admitted to the hospital in Ankeny, the two-year-old child weighed 15 pounds and 8 ounces, according to the criminal complaint. The complaint states the child also measured at just over 2 feet 3 inches tall, which is in the 0.1% of height and weight for two-year-old children.

According to court records, the alleged abuse began in March of 2021.

A no contact order has been issued barring Bruckner from having contact with her child and any other minor under the age of 18. She left custody on pretrial release Thursday.
