The body of a missing 14-month-old Maryland boy was found in an Ohio creek Wednesday as his mother was ordered held on $150,000 bond in her first court appearance.

Searchers found the body of Cameron Beckford in Big Walnut Creek on Wednesday morning, said Sgt. Rich Weiner, a Columbus police spokesman.

Dainesha Stevens is charged with endangering children and tampering with evidence and was held on $75,000 bond on each count. Franklin County Municipal Court Judge Michael Brandt also ordered her not to have any contact with children.

Stevens, 24, failed to protect the child “by allowing an individual to violently spank him numerous times on several occasions,” according to a police charging document filed Wednesday.

The discipline removed several layers of skin and caused the boy’s buttocks to bleed, the document said.

Stevens also allowed the boy to be removed from the place he was assaulted “to impair the investigation of a missing/homicide investigation” and concealed the boy’s whereabouts, the document said.  The assault happened between Dec. 21 and Dec. 23, according to the document.

Collins said Stevens came to the Columbus area Dec. 15 after calling police in Maryland for help, then receiving a bus pass from the local protective services agency.

Frederick police previously said the father of the two children called police on Sunday and reported that their mother had taken them to an unknown location in Columbus in mid-December. Based on the father’s concerns, missing-child reports were issued.
