Boyfriend of Child's Mother Shakes Infant on Christmas Eve, Sending Baby to Hospital

A child abuse incident on Christmas Eve sent a 4-month-old child to a Reno hospital with a head injury, according to RGJ online.  According to detectives, the baby's mother said that she left the infant with her boyfriend for approximately 20 minutes.  When she returned to her home, the baby was acting different, so she took the child to the hospital, where physicians determined the cause of the injuries to be shaken baby syndrome.  The 26-year-old boyfriend reportedly shook the child because he was angry that the infant was crying, so he shook it violently to stop the crying.  He was arrested Monday, December 28.

Infant on Life Support for Head Injuries After Shaken by Father

After being taken to a medical center by his grandmother for head injuries and difficulty breathing, a two-month-old boy was airlifted to a children's medical center in Salt Lake City and placed on life support, according to The Spectrum online.  The injuries sustained by the infant were consistent with shaken baby syndrome, and police arrested the infant's father on child abuse charges after conducting an initial investigation.  The man was reportedly watching other children as well as the infant when the incident occurred and resulted in traumatic head injuries for the boy.  Medical personnel reported to visitors that the prognosis for the child was not good, and it was not clear whether the child could survive on his own without life support.

Unlicensed Daycare Provider Indicted After Infant Girl Suffers Serious Head Injuries From Shaken Baby Syndrome

An Illinois woman who kept children in an unlicensed daycare facility at her home has been indicted in the shaken baby syndrome case of a child who was under her care, according to the Quad-City Times.  The state Attorney General's Office announced today that 38-year-old Karyn McCallister was indicted for shaking the four-month-old baby, which resulted in significant head injuries for the infant girl.  The child was reportedly in McCallister's care multiple times before the February 24th incident this year in which the daycare provider allegedly shook the girl due to the infant's crying.  As a result of the shaking, the baby suffered serious head trauma and multiple subdural hematomas (a traumatic brain injury in which blood gathers in part of the brain).  In this case of abusive head trauma, McCallister has been charged with one count of reckless conduct (which could send her to prison for 1 to 3 years) and one count of aggravated battery of a child (which could result in 6 to 30 years in prison).

As a father of two and an attorney for daycare injuries and shaken baby syndrome, Chris Keane expresses his deepest sympathies to the family and friends of this baby girl, and he hopes for her full and fast recovery.  For more information on shaken baby syndrome, daycare injuries, and how you can receive free help during your time of need, contact Chris Keane of the Keane Law Firm.
