COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) – A tip from staff at a local charter school led to the arrest of a 29-year-old woman in Colorado Springs after officers uncovered evidence of child abuse, the Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) said.

According to CSPD, just after 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, June 5, staff members at a Colorado Springs charter school notified police that they had concerns about a child who was possibly being abused.

Officers responded to the school to begin the initial investigation, which was later taken over by CSPD's Crimes Against Children and Forensic Interview units.

CSPD says detectives ultimately established probable cause to arrest 29-year-old Lizbeth Salinas Mijangos and charge her with child abuse, a class three felony.
