Ark. woman arrested in foster child's death

A Eudora woman has been arrested on a battery charge in the death of her 22-month-old foster daughter. The girl, Keyundra Smith, was 1 of 4 foster children who died in a recent two-month period. The Arkansas State Police and the state Human Services Department have been investigating the deaths. Thirty-5-year-old Eleisha Sykes was out on bond after her arrest on a first-degree battery charge in Keyundra's May 28th death. An arrest affidavit says the toddler died of apparent brain injuries consistent with "shaken-baby syndrome." Keyundra also had bruises on her sides, back, buttocks and legs.
