reported it to the authorities.

The victim said that when Heather Day took her to the hospital following past assaults, she would tell medical staff that she did not know how her daughter was hurt. Heather Day is also accused of trying to get the victim to lie about her injuries, persuading her to cover up with a mask while at school, and telling the victim she had the autoimmune disease hereditary angioedema, which causes swelling. Police said the disease does cause swelling, but the lacerations and bruises suffered by the victim are not symptoms.

Both Heather Day and Seth Day have been booked into the Johnson County jail, records show.
