Jun. 25—A North Augusta woman has been accused of killing her child in 2020.

The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division charged Codi Raye Scott (Carter) with two counts of unlawful conduct toward a child on June 21.

Scott (Carter) allegedly choked her three-year-old child to death on Oct. 13, 2020, according to an arrest warrant.

Another arrest warrant stated Scott (Carter) allegedly inflicted multiple injuries to the child, including bruising on the child’s chest, back, eye, ear and jaw between July 28, 2020 and Oct. 12, 2020.
