1Opinion of the Court

Miller, Chief Judge.

A jury convicted Janet Marie Yearwood of one count of aggravated battery (OCGA § 16-5-24 (a)), one count of cruelty to children — first degree (OCGA § 16-5-70 (b)), one count of cruelty to children — second degree (OCGA § 16-5-70 (c)), and one count of family violence battery (OCGA § 16-5-23.1 (f)). Yearwood appeals from the denial of her motion for new trial, as amended, challenging the sufficiency of the evidence as to her conviction of aggravated battery and the trial court’s charge to the jury on parties to a crime. Discerning no error, we affirm.
