According to WKYT, Nineteen-year-old Aaron Evans of Indiana is facing serious charges after his 2-month-old child was admitted to the hospital with injuries consistent with child abuse. The baby had bruises on its body, a cut on the h£ad
ad, fractured ribs, fractured legs, and a subdural hemorrhage, according to hospital officials.
Upon further investigation, it was found that the child had suffered from past injuries. The hospital staff immediately contacted the police upon discovering the severity of the injuries, leading to Evans’ arrest. He has been charged with one count of battery resulting in serious bodily injury and one count of neglect of a dependent resulting in serious injury.
According to rawstory, the charges stem from Evans’ admission that he wanted to “inflict pain back” on the child after the infant pulled on his nose ring and made noise while he was suffering from a migraine. Evans reportedly has a history of anger and abusing the child, leading to concerns about the safety of the child and the need for immediate intervention.
The severity of the child’s injuries and the history of abuse have raised alarm bells among members of the community and authorities alike. The case has highlighted the importance of early detection and intervention in cases of child abuse and neglect.
Evans is currently in custody and awaiting trial, while the child is receiving medical care and attention for the injuries sustained. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of safeguarding children and the need for vigilance in identifying and reporting cases of abuse and neglect.
