Probing baby's injury

AUSTINTOWN

An infant boy ended up at a hospital with a skull fracture and hemorrhaging, and township detectives are investigating what happened.

The child’s mother told detectives Wednesday she believed the head injury occurred two days prior, when the boy was with relatives. She said the child fell off a couch, striking his head on the carpet, but the injuries suggest something far worse.

The woman noticed the boy’s head was swollen while bathing him.

An examination at Akron Children’s Hospital Mahoning Valley in Boardman showed there were no lasting injuries or injuries elsewhere on the boy’s body.
