INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - A seven-week-old baby is recovering from what detectives say is severe abuse. The baby's parents are expected in court later this week.
The father, Todd Spears, was supposed to be in court Wednesday morning but jail officials confirm he could not appear because he was injured during a fight with another inmate.
Police say Spears and his girlfriend Simone Hamilton, both 19 years old, are in jail after their seven-week-old baby, Jaden, suffered multiple injuries. Police say the injuries include broken legs, broken feet, a broken arm and bleeding in the eyes.
Detectives say Hamilton took the baby to a northwest side clinic Monday for what she called a bruise. The doctor called police who then arrested Hamilton and Spears.
Detectives say Spears admitted to mishandling the baby.
"He's made some comments about squeezing parts of the baby and maybe he had shaken it a little bit but that's what he's saying," said Lt. Jeff Duhamell of the IMPD.
Simone Hamilton, the baby's mother, is a certified nurse aide with an active license to practice. She told police she was aware of some of the abuse.
Hamilton is facing a neglect charge.
The father Todd Spears is facing a preliminary battery charge. Both are expected back in court later this week.
I heard about this poor little one on my local news tonight. The reportes were told that some of his broken bones were already healing, meaning that this baby had been abuised almost it's entire 7 weeks of life...So lets all pray for baby Jaden! He needs all the extra prayers he can get
