If they can find this monster of a woman and that poor child, the bruises will be all the evidence needed. That little girl was BEATEN. There's no doubt.

And quite possibly the broken bones from this and previous beatings, all at varying stages of healing, as is often the case with abused children. The "good" news (though I shudder to use that word in connection with this case) is that even if they manage to hide her long enough for outwardly visible bruises to disappear, there will almost certainly be X-ray evidence to prove abuse (hopefully X-rays of a live child, and not of a corpse). It's highly unlikely that this was the first time this child was brutally beaten, and also highly unlikely that the beatings haven't resulted in some broken bones.
