According to the Daily mail, Fairfield Police received a call shortly after 8am yesterday morning from a ‘hysterical’ 17-year-old girl, claiming her baby was bleeding from its nose. Officers found the baby, along with his parents and other family members, at their home on the 1000 block of Alaska Avenue. The baby was rushed to North Bay Medical Centre, where doctors found part of his nose had been completely severed and he had a possible head trauma. A short while later, the baby was transferred to Oakland’s Children’s Hospital. Doctors there found that one-third of the child’s nose had been ripped off and that he had a fractured skull and a brain hemorrhage. Police aren’t sure how the baby received the head injuries. Fairfield Police said in a statement: “The criminal investigation determined that the infant’s father had bitten the child’s nose off out of frustration from the infant crying. The investigation continues to determine how the infant sustained the skull fracture and brain hemorrhage.” Cooper has been charged with child cruelty and aggravated mayhem. The baby was in stable condition as of Friday.
We’re praying for his speedy recovery.
