A two-month-old girl was hospitalized for serious injuries in Tumwater, Washington, following an alleged incident of shaken baby syndrome, according to the Komo News website. Following the baby's hospitalization on Sunday, authorities from Mary Bridge Children's Hospital notified police that her injuries were consistent with abusive head trauma (also known as shaken baby syndrome), and her 22-year-old father, Treven W. Clark, was arrested and taken to the Thurston County Jail where he awaits charges of first-degree child assault. After further investigation, Tumwater police believe that Clark shook the baby while she was under his care in a Tumwater home. Luckily, the baby was released from the hospital on Wednesday, but the long-term effects of her injuries are unknown. She and a 2-year-old child have been placed in protective custody following the shaken baby syndrome incident.
