It's not clear how old the child is. Williams said she was upset about past incidents that occurred and that the child lied about them, according to the report.

Williams told deputies she became angry in the incident on Saturday and described her mind set as "blacking out" when she "attacked" the child.

Williams was booked into Orange County jail.
