SOUTH BEND, Ind. –– The grandmother of a 4-year-old girl who was repeatedly struck by her mother in a store parking lot was named as the girl's foster parent Wednesday.

Judge Peter J. Nemeth ordered that Martha Toogood be placed in the care of Mary Agnes Gorman. The girl's parents will still be limited to one weekly supervised visit with her.

Martha was put in state custody after her mother, Madelyne Gorman Toogood, was charged with felony battery of a child. A surveillance camera taped the woman striking her daughter in a store parking lot in Mishawaka.

Toogood, 25, remains free on $7,000 bond. She smiled in court when the judge announced his decision, and her attorney, Fred Hains, said she and her husband, John, were pleased.

"I think these people will cooperate and eventually the child will be reunited with the parents," Hains said.
